At St Meriadoc Junior School our aims of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) are to:

• Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place, supported by quality information and resources
• Promote mental and physical health and equip our pupils with strategies to support their wellbeing
• Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
• Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
• Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships
• Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies
• Link our RSHE teaching and learning to our Christian and school values
• Acknowledge the impact we can have on others

"Let the wise hear and increase in learning…"
