To embrace the challenges of creating a happy and successful adult life, pupils
need knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing,
health and relationships and to build their self-efficacy. Pupils can also put this
knowledge into practice as they develop the capacity to make sound decisions when
facing risks, challenges and complex contexts. Everyone faces difficult situations in their
lives. These subjects can support young people to develop resilience, to know how and
when to ask for help, and to know where to access support.
We follow the PSHRE Alliance Scheme of Work.
Understanding Relationships and Health Education in your child’s primary school – Parent’s Guide
Our Make a Difference ethos has been developed as a bespoke means of teaching, promoting and developing certain attributes (values) in the children who attend our school.

SRE (Sex and Relationships Education)
The following units of work are taught to each year group.
F2 – Our lives
Yr 1 – Growing and caring for ourselves
Yr 2 – Differences
Yr 3 – Valuing differences and keeping safe
Yr 4 – Growing up
Yr 5 – Puberty
Yr 6 – Puberty, relationships and reproduction
Each year group will only study the work relevant to their current year group.
At Robert Mellors, we teach the SRE units of work throughout the year. This gives teachers chance to revisit previous learning and supports the children with any questions that they have about this.
Sex and Relationships Education is an important part of the primary school curriculum and there are aspects of this which must be taught as statutory components of the National Curriculum for Science.
Right to withdraw
We acknowledge that you may wish to teach your child the other aspects of SRE at home and therefore choose for your child not to access this learning in school (opt out). If this is the case, we would ask you to contact your child’s class teacher to discuss this further. You will be required to complete a form to confirm that you wish to withdraw your child from these elements of the curriculum.
We have welcomed Ally from The Dog’s Trust to talk to the children in school about keeping safe around dogs.
