Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood (RSHP) is delivered to all learners at Preston Street at part of the Health and Wellbeing curriculum.
We follow a nationally agreed programme of learning which has been developed by the Scottish Government in conjunction with teachers, parents, local authorities, NHS boards and other agencies.
RSHP is an extremely important part of our curriculum and helps us provide a safe, healthy and inclusive learning environment for all pupils. The following leaflet from Healthy Respect provides information for parents about why it is important:
Healthy Respect RSHP Information for Parents
As with all areas of the curriculum, learning within the primary school is split into three curricular Levels:
- Early Level (Nursery and P1)
- First Level (P2, P3 and P4)
- Second Level (P5, P6 and P7)
If you do wish to find out more about the programme and how it is delivered at Preston Street, please contact the school directly.
At the start of every term, we issue guidance to parents to explain what will be taught in RSHP lessons in their child’s class.
