Relationship, Sex and Health Education
The Department for Education (DfE) announced changes to Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) Curriculum. These new regulations will make Relationship Education compulsory. Primary schools can choose to teach sex education and it will not be compulsory, with the exception of any teaching that is part of the Science National curriculum.
At Parkstone, we deliver Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in line with the latest statutory guidance from the Department for Education. RSE helps children develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to build positive relationships, stay safe, and lead healthy, happy lives. In primary schools, the focus is on Relationships Education and Health Education, including friendships, family relationships, respect for others, online safety, personal boundaries, emotional wellbeing and understanding how to stay safe.
Teaching is age-appropriate, inclusive and designed to prepare pupils for life in modern Britain, while supporting our school’s values and safeguarding responsibilities.
