Primary School: Being respectul

The aim of this lesson is to introduce and explore the concept of ‘respectful
relationships’. We show that respect means being considerate of the wishes,
feelings and needs of another person and that mutual respect is fundamental
to building healthy friendships and relationships.
We ask the class to think about, discuss and model positive interactions
on how respect can be given in relationships including:
• Friendship and family relationships, enjoying time together / trust
• Respect for others in need
• Self-respect
• Respecting those in authority
We aim to help you explain to pupils that in school and in wider society
it is important to show respect and feel respected by others. We believe
that the best way to develop mutual respect, is to help students explore the
similarities between us, even with people who we believe are very different
from us.
