RSE
Relationships Education in primary schools should teach the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other peers and adults.
At Coram Life Education we believe that children should learn about relationships as well as the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, human sexuality and sexual health in an age-appropriate way, the majority of which is covered in Health Education and National Curriculum Science. Therefore we often refer to this subject as RSE: Relationships and Sex Education.
Our Relationships and Sex Education resources help children and young people to be safe, healthy and happy, both as they grow, and in their future lives. These lessons help to meet safeguarding, and emotional wellbeing requirements, as well as ensuring that schools cover the requirements of the DfE RSHE guidance.
Policy Consultation
Dear Parent/Carers,
As you may be aware, The Department for Education has announced changes to Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). These came into effect from the Summer Term 2021 and all schools will be required to comply with the updated requirements. We are currently updating our policy.
In the process of reviewing our RSE curriculum and policy, we can be sure our provision meets the Government criteria and is appropriate for our children based on their: Age, physical and emotional maturity, religious and cultural backgrounds, special educational needs and/or disabilities.
We have also considered what our pupils need to know to be healthy and safe in school, in their personal relationships and in the wider world. Our RSE Curriculum is delivered using the SCARF PSHE Programme and has been developed in line with our policy.
We would very much welcome your views and we are pleased to provide a Parent and Carer Consultation
period.
