RSE

 

The Department for Education has announced changes to Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) statutory guidance.

In light of these changes, we have reviewed our curriculum and policy, so we can be sure our provision is appropriate for our pupils based on:

  • Age and maturity levels, as well as their cultural and religious backgrounds
  • The values of our school community
  • Every pupil’s learning needs
  • What pupils need to know to be healthy and safe in school, in their personal relationships and in the wider world
  • What pupils need to know in order to be prepared for puberty and give them an understanding of, and the importance of, health and hygiene
  • The importance of developing feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
  • Creating a positive culture around issues of safe loving relationships

As part of our consultation with parents we are sharing our Relationships, Sex and Health Education policy and would ask that you look at this, along with a range of information and respond via email. . Please click on the links below to access the documents or ask via our school office for hard copies.
