Health and Wellbeing Curriculum Statement of Intent
At Boreham Primary School, it is our aim to ensure that all children lead happy and healthy lifestyles both physically and mentally. The aim of this policy is to ensure that all pupils receive age-appropriate, inclusive, and high-quality Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), and Health Education that equips them with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to lead safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. Through a planned and progressive curriculum, pupils will develop an understanding of positive relationships, physical and mental wellbeing, personal safety, respect for themselves and others, and the responsibilities of living in a diverse society. The school is committed to working in partnership with parents and carers to support pupils in making informed decisions and preparing them for life in modern Britain.
