RSHE

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education 

The school provides a programme of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education that is taught within the PSHE (Personal, Social, Health Education) scheme of work and has cross curricular links to science and RE.

 

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education is lifelong learning and involves acquiring information, developing skills and forming positive beliefs, values and attitudes appropriate for children’s age and physical development. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education has a key part to play in the personal, social, moral and spiritual development of young people.  It begins informally in the home and it is our intention at KS1 and KS2 to build on this and not to undermine it. Young people’s entitlement to RSE is described fully in our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) Policy which has been developed in consultation with parents. Parents have a right to withdraw their child from the PSHE elements of Sex Education, however the science objectives are statutory and therefore children can’t be withdrawn from those lessons.
