St Edward's School
RSHE
STATEMENT OF INTENT
At St Edward's, through engagement with the RSHE curriculum, we intend that pupils will be equipped with the significant knowledge and practical skills to navigate their lives safely, respectfully, and with tolerance towards others. In addition, the knowledge taught should enable pupils to make informed choices and decisions regarding their well-being, health, and relationships. All pupils need to be able to implement the knowledge and skills to evaluate and make decisions when presented with challenges and risks. Throughout the pupil's journey at St Edward's, we strive to help pupils build their resilience and identify where and from whom they can seek help.
St Edward’s encourages each pupil’s physical, intellectual, spiritual, and personal development within a Catholic setting to ensure that each pupil:
Fulfils their God-given potential
Communicates effectively
Makes good academic progress
Develops self-esteem and confidence
Is prepared for the next stage of their educational journey
