RSHE
Curriculum intent
At CHS we have developed a bespoke Relationships, Health and Sex education which sits alongside Citizenship and is entwined with the whole school’s pastoral curriculum.
It is our intent that all students receive an age/development appropriate and reflective high quality curriculum.
This needs to be both sensitive and inclusive, with an integral expectation of EXCELlence in terms of its delivery and how it is respected; students and staff are regularly given opportunities to reflect on the significance of RSHE and therefore recognise its importance.
In lessons students will develop knowledge of the law surrounding RSHE and they are encouraged to read both fiction and non-fiction texts to help them develop empathy and understanding of others.
The intent behind this, is for all students to understand how to develop, sustain and manage healthy relationships through all areas of their life.
Teaching about mental wellbeing is central to this, so they can ENDEAVOUR to become happy adults who ENJOY life and demonstrate integrity and kindness.
(Year 11 first teaching will be September 2022)
We all aspire for our young people to develop into kind, reflective, active members of our global community.
This begins with instilling a sense of confidence built upon knowledge and understanding. At Chichester High School we work across all areas of the curriculum and our pastoral system to ensure this is possible
Within these lessons, we have developed a learning journey that encompasses all elements of the Relationships, Sex, Health and Citizenship curriculum, alongside other elements of PSHE such as careers.
Furthermore, due to this integrated planning, there will be an opportunity for all students at the end of year 11 to sit a GCSE in Citizenship. This formal qualification is a fantastic stepping stone towards a career in the public services or further study in Politics, Law, Journalism, Sociology or History.
Through these lessons, and supported across all areas of the school curriculum, we aim to equip all our young people with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes, and practical skills to live safe, healthy, productive lives and meet their full potential.
Our curriculum remains flexible and responsive to the changing needs of our young people. We will endeavour to update you with any changes.
