Health and Wellbeing

Learning within Health and Wellbeing encompasses many different forms.

It is a large part of our ethos and staff prioritise building relationships with learners to ensure they feel happy, safe and ready to learn.  These positive relationships have a large impact on the wellbeing of our pupils. A focus on getting outdoors as much as possible not only promotes positive mental health but also impacts learners physical health positively.

There are also specific lessons dedicated to Health and Wellbeing through lessons focussed around:

• Mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing

• Planning for choices and changes

• Physical education, physical activity and sport

• Food and health

• Substance misuse

• Relationships, sexual health and parenthood

RSHP is a national resource that has been developed by a partnership of local authorities, health boards, Education Scotland and the Scottish Government to help schools deliver part of the Health and Wellbeing Curriculum.

RSHP is organised into four categories:

• Positive Relationships

• Physical Changes

• Sexual Health and Sexuality

• Role of the Parent / Carer

All lessons are age and stage appropriate for learners 3 - 18 years and are organised by Curriculum for Excellence levels from Early (Nursery - Primary 1), First (Primary 2 - Primary 4) and Second (Primary 5 - Primary 7)
