Relationships and Sex Education

RSE

RSE stands for "relationships and sex education". The Relationships Education, RSE, and Health Education (England) Regulations 2019 have made Relationships Education compulsory in all primary schools. Sex education is not compulsory in primary schools.

All primary school children will be required to learn about relationships and health in particular: relationships and physical health and mental well-being.

Schools must create a curriculum that adheres to the statutory guidance. The curriculum must also be appropriate for children's ages and developmental stage and sensitive to the needs and religious backgrounds of the children in the school.

These changes were due to come in to effect from September 2020, but due to Covid-19 and school closures, the implementation was delayed until Summer 2021.

Prior to the national lockdown we had initiated some consultation with our parents and in light of those comments we drafted our RSE curriculum and policy. We then initiated further consultation prior to the Easter Holiday.

The consultation process will has now concluded and therefore the curriculum and policy have now been confirmed. Please see the files below for further information.

Our Relationships and Sex Education Policy is on the Policies page of this website.
