Why this why now
In Year 6, pupils have developed an understanding of different family structures and learned about the law. This unit explores romantic relationships and the legal status of long-term relationships, including marriage and civil partnerships. This is timely as pupils approach adolescence and understand relationships more maturely. By learning these concepts now, pupils develop respect for relationship choices, understand legal commitment, and recognise healthy relationship characteristics.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils should know from Key Stage 1 that families come in many different forms and that stable, caring relationships are characterised by love and care.
- Pupils should understand from earlier learning that healthy relationships are based on mutual respect, honesty, trust, kindness and commitment to each other.
- Pupils should be familiar with the idea that everyone has the right to choose their relationships and that all relationship choices should be respected.
- Pupils may know from previous learning about diverse family structures including those with same-sex parents and understand that love matters most.
