Embedded Files
At Blenheim Primary School, we want our children to feel empowered to make a difference: learn to be themselves so that they feel a sense of autonomy; be able to live a life that is meaningful; create healthy relationships built on respect and acceptance; to feel like they can make a difference to not only their physical but mental health for themselves and others; and know how to live sustainably within our ever-growing world. We want all children to be happy, articulate, healthy, lifelong learners and know the part they can play in creating a harmonious planet.

For primary-aged children, the key updates include:
Enhanced Online Safety: Greater emphasis on navigating digital spaces safely, understanding age-restricted content, and recognising online boundaries.
Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing: Expanded focus on helping children identify and manage complex feelings, including building resilience, and understanding grief, loss, and loneliness.
Practical Personal Safety: New, explicit content to help children recognise risks around roads, railways, fire, and water safety.
Body Protection & Safeguarding: Reaffirming best practice by teaching children accurate anatomical vocabulary for body parts. This is a vital safeguarding tool that reduces stigma and empowers children to speak up if they ever feel unsafe.
Diverse Families: Ensuring our lessons continue to reflect and respect the diverse family structures within our modern British society (such as single parents, same-sex parents, foster carers, and blended families).
Below you can find our RSHE Primary policy, which includes the curriculum map and how we will communicate with families.
