Relationships & Sex Education
At Harpenden Academy, Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) is taught through the 'Changing Me' strand of the Jigsaw scheme. The scheme focuses on the characteristics of positive, healthy relationships. In an age and developmentally appropriate way, it equips children with the correct vocabulary about their bodies and physical development in order for them to stay safe and communicate effectively.
There are five main aims of teaching RSE:
• to enable children to understand and respect their bodies
• to help children develop positive and healthy relationships appropriate to their age and development
• to support children to have positive self-esteem and body image
• to empower them to be safe and make informed decisions
• to help children feel positive about their futures
