How is the training structured?
South Farnham Teaching School has been selected by The Department for Education to work as a RSHE Hub and has delivered a central programme of support for over 800 teachers in 600+ schools in the South East throughout 2020 and 2021.
Primary and secondary training is delivered separately by school-based phase experts.
Training supports schools in auditing their provision and training their own staff with a package of presentation materials and resources to ensure that the school is ready to deliver the new RSHE curriculum.
Our programme uses DfE approved materials and is delivered by RSHE experts. It has been updated to ensure that schools consider the recent Ofsted review of sexual abuse and consider a whole-school approach to addressing issues and creating a culture where sexual harassment is not tolerated.
Schools are required to put in place the key building blocks of healthy, respectful relationships, focusing on family and friendships, inclusion in all contexts, including online. This will sit alongside the essential understanding of how to be healthy. This is a specialist area of the curriculum, dealing with complex and sensitive issues and this training will help all teachers and leads of PSHE/RSHE to deliver the subjects with increased knowledge, confidence and resource.
