RSE & RSHE

The Heathfield RSE and RSHE Curriculum is strong

  • A spiral curriculum is taught by trained experts, appropriate to age and stage with clear ground rules for each class.
  • Statutory duty of curriculum time has been in place since 2020 including material covered in subjects such as Science, PE and Computing among others.
  • It is responsive to current affairs and covers issues topical to the year group as well as both national and local initiatives.
  • The College engages with normative data to assure and inform the curriculum through surveys and student voice (e.g My HealthMySchool) the results of which are then used in lessons.
  • Active engagement in sector research where appropriate (e.g 2022 peer on peer abuse and consent)
  • Membership of the PSHEe association and other local groups provide opportunities to share best practice and resources.
