Research shows that there is a link between a pupil’s wellbeing and positive mental health and academic achievement. Therefore, at Nythe Primary School, we believe Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education is a vital part of our children’s education. In this technologically ever–changing world, it is our intent that when our pupils leave our school they will have high self-esteem, the ability to talk about their feelings, an understanding of consent, respect for themselves and others, and know what positive relationships look and feel like. In addition, we want them to value and respect differences between themselves and others. We also hope that our children are confident, resilient and happy, and have been equipped with a sound understanding of risk and with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions to keep themselves safe. We use the SCARF scheme to support our teaching of PSHE including Relationships and Sex Education.

Rights Respecting School
We are excited to have started our journey towards becoming a Bronze Rights Respecting School.
There are three stages to the Rights Respecting Schools Award. Its transformative and rigorous approach means the journey to the highest stage can take up to four years.
Together our school community will learn about children’s rights, putting them into practice every day. The Award is not just about what children do but also, importantly, what adults do. In Rights Respecting Schools children’s rights are promoted and realised, adults and children work towards this goal together.
There are four key areas of impact for children at a Rights Respecting school; wellbeing, participation, relationships and self-esteem.
The difference that a Rights Respecting School makes goes beyond the school gates, making a positive impact on the whole community.
- Children are healthier and happier
- Children feel safe
- Children have better relationships
- Children become active and involved in school life and the wider world
