Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence, and empathy

Create a positive culture of communication around issues of relationships
Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies
Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place
Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
Give pupils an understanding of reproduction and sexual development
Ensure that all pupils, by the time they reach secondary school age, are well equipped and on an equal footing, to deal with the secondary RSHE curriculum.
To provide all pupils with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable them to make positive and healthy choices concerning relationships as they grow up and deal with risk.
