Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education (PSHE) and
Relationships & Sex Education (RSE)
Consultation
The Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education (England) Regulations 2019, made under sections 34 and 35 of the Children and Social Work Act 2017, make Relationships Education compulsory for all pupils receiving primary education and Health Education compulsory in all schools except independent schools.
From September 2020, it is a compulsory requirement that all primary schools in England and Wales are teaching Relationship and Health Education as a fundamental part of the curriculum. Due to school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, this deadline has been extended to Summer term 2021.
Although we use the PSHE Assosiation Question Based model; which does offer a comprehensive programme of study covering many aspects of the curriculum requirements, we also use a variety of other resources available to ensure all compulsory elements of Health and Relationship Education are covered and the primary level of Sex Education is taught in an age-appropriate way.
At Bishop Martin we completed a consultation with parents in 2015 when introducing our PSHE Scheme, more specifically focussed on the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) teaching content. The consultation process was collaborative and supportive, involving parents, governors, school staff and the children themselves.
