Schools

Cornerhouse provides a range of services for schools and colleges that can enhance the PSHE Education curriculum and support for students and staff.

Relationship and Sex Education:

Cornerhouse offers a wide range of RSE workshops which provide a programme of learning that builds a firm base of knowledge around relationships, sexual health and wellbeing, equipping young people with the necessary skills to make informed choices.

Our sessions promote open, frank and positive discussions about bodies, identity, gender, relationships, consent and sex at an age-appropriate level, that challenge negative societal attitudes and embraces sexual diversity, while emphasising the importance of consent.

Our team of youth workers are equipped to deliver fun, engaging and interactive sessions and are adaptive to the needs of the group, we all work one to one with young people around the same subjects we offer sessions on and bring “real life” knowledge, and where appropriate, scenarios, to our workshops.

We can cover all aspects of the RSE curriculum, if there’s something you’re looking for specifically get in touch, we have a vast array of resources to create bespoke sessions to meet your needs.

Tender – Healthy Relationships Project

Our engaging, drama-based sessions empower students with the skills and confidence to build positive, respectful relationships with others, and to consider their attitudes and behaviour in a safe, age appropriate way. During our workshops, we work with one class in a year group in which they will:

• Identify key elements of healthy and unhealthy relationships
• Recognise early warning signs of unhealthy relationships
• Explore the importance of equality and respect
• Understand personal boundaries and consent
• Increase self-confidence and empathy for others
• Develop awareness of where to seek or signpost support

They will then create a performance to present this knowledge back to the rest of their year group.

Our current project also include a 1-hour CPD accredited INSET session for 15 or more staff, enabling them to become more confident around the issue of relationship violence and to be able to effectively ensure the safeguarding of their students.
