RSHE – Relationship, Sex and Health Education:
A curriculum through which children explore the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up. They learn about positive relationships, growth and changes, as well as physical and mental health. The Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSE) curriculum became statutory in September 2020. Relationships and Sex Education supports and guides children and young people in lifelong learning about relationships, emotions, the human biology of sex and sexuality. It is compulsory for all primary school children to receive relationship education. Our RSE curriculum links in with our science curriculum and Years 1 to 5 will have a total of 3 lessons delivered over the course of the year while year 6 will have 4 lessons. Details of the lessons can be found on the curriculum map. For more information regarding RSE please follow the links below: Parental consultation of RSE video www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZOtLoayA8M&list=TLGGXH8fUdjHPM0xNDEwMjAyMQ 
At Darran Park we follow the Christopher Winter’s Project for the teaching of Substance use and mis-use.
This is a scheme of work that includes lesson plans and teaching materials for Year 1 to Year 6. It builds on learning from previous years and revisits topics each year to cover them in greater depth. The Christopher Winter’s Project resources and lessons plans are quality-assured by the PSHE Association and the DFE to best support children along their learning journey of RSE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education.)
