At Cumberland Infants, RHE is at the heart of everything we do. We believe children thrive when they feel safe, happy and valued, and through our curriculum we equip every child with the knowledge, skills and confidence to lead healthy, fulfilling and impactful lives. 

Our curriculum celebrates each child as a unique individual, nurturing their strengths and helping them to shine. Through our Learning Values of Imagination, Thinking, Independence, Perseverance, Collaboration and Wow, alongside our ethos Together we Care, Inspire, Succeed, we encourage children to grow, explore and flourish. Inclusion lies at the core of our approach, with children learning to respect and appreciate different ideas, beliefs and cultures through meaningful discussions and shared experiences. 

Wellbeing is central to our provision. Through programmes such as My Happy Mind, weekly check-in circles and opportunities to care for school pets, children develop emotional literacy, resilience and empathy. Our restorative approach supports them to communicate openly, reflect on their actions and build positive relationships. 

We are committed to preparing children to be responsible, active citizens. Through enriching experiences - including beach school, wilding, church visits, music and community events - children develop confidence, responsibility and a sense of belonging, while also learning about healthy lifestyles and sustainability. 

Keeping children safe is fundamental. With a strong focus on online safety and tailored support such as Defenders Club, ELSA and SILSA, we ensure every child feels secure and included. Our RHE teaching is underpinned by British values, embedded throughout our ethos and curriculum ensuring children develop the understanding and skills needed to navigate life in modern Britain. 

We teach children to care for one another, nurture a love of learning, inspire curiosity and support each child to grow into kind, confident individuals ready to succeed in making a positive difference in the world.
