Relationships and Health Education

Relationships and Health Education at Thornhill offers both explicit and implicit learning opportunities and experiences which reflect pupils’ increasing independence and physical and social awareness, as they move through the primary phase using the building blocks taught during EYFS. Strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable our children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. RHE education helps pupils to manage their physical and emotional changes at puberty, introduces them to a wider world, enables them to make an active contribution to our school and local community.
