At Greenfield School, RVE is taught using rich task learning, incorporating all AOLE’s if appropriate. RVE is also the focus for pupils’ daily assemblies, where we explore our school values and aims.

RVE helps pupils develop secure values alongside developing their personal spiritual and ethical beliefs. Through exploration of their own and other people’s beliefs, values, lifestyle and challenges, pupils can develop empathy, face and overcome their own challenges, build confidence and resilience, which in turn, will support their own mental and emotional well-being.

Through reflection on their learning in this area, they can begin to take measured decisions about lifestyle, manage risk and form positive relationships based upon trust and mutual respect. They should develop the skills and knowledge to manage everyday life as independently as they can.
