My Zone : Next Week's Lesson Years 7-11 (for Year 12 see here)

Week 2: My Boundaries: Knowing What's Okay and What's Not (Week commencing 12th Jan)

This half term, students across Years 7–11 have begun the My Relationships unit in MyZone. This unit supports young people to develop the knowledge, confidence, and skills they need to build healthy, respectful, and safe relationships now and as they grow older.

This week, students took part in their first lesson in the unit, where they explored different types of relationships they may experience and discussed what makes relationships healthy or unhealthy in age-appropriate ways.

Next week, lessons will focus on My Boundaries: Knowing What’s Okay and What’s Not. Across the year groups, students will learn about personal boundaries, how to set and communicate boundaries, and how to recognise when boundaries are crossed. Younger year groups focus on everyday boundaries and respectful behaviour, while older students explore more complex issues such as emotional abuse, including manipulation and gaslighting. In Key Stage 4, lessons move on to topics such as harassment, stalking, and other forms of abuse (including sexual and physical abuse), with a strong emphasis on how to seek help, report concerns, and support friends safely.

Important Year 11 reminder:

As Year 11 students study MyZone for this half term only, they are not issued with MyZone workbooks. Please ensure that Year 11 students bring a notebook to use during MyZone lessons.

If you have any questions about the content of the My Relationships unit, or would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Below is an overview of what each year group is learning next week.
