Relationships and Health Education (RHE)

At Middlewich Primary School, we aim to provide pupils with a high-quality Relationships and health education (RHE). Our RHE curriculum provides all children with the knowledge, skills, and understanding they need to lead healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. The curriculum aligns with the DfE’s guidance, which places emphasis on delivering a broad and balanced curriculum that supports children’s physical and mental health, promotes positive relationships, and prepares them for life in modern Britain.
