The aim of relationships education at our school is to help pupils develop self-respect, confidence and empathy. Pupils will learn about what makes healthy relationships, focusing on family and friendships, in a way that is age appropriate and sensitive to their faith. This will include online relationships, and how to seek help if they feel unsafe. Teaching will respect the diversity of families in our community.
Relationships education is not about sexual relationships. Inclusion, equality, fairness, respect and tolerance are at the heart of Sandal’s ethos and relationship education is very much part of this.
