PSHE and RHE (Relationships and Health Education)
At St Thomas', we believe that Relationships Education and Health Education are vital for preparing our children for their future lives. We want them to lead happy, healthy lives, confident in themselves and able to look after themselves.
We will always encourage the children to share their own views whilst challenging their thinking, particularly with regard to stereotypes and potential prejudices. Our aim is to prepare the children for life in our diverse, multi-cultural society in modern Britain, sharing mutual respect.
Our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) work encompasses all the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education.
