Our RSHE Consultation
Consultation on Revised Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) Policy
At Newbury Park Primary, we are committed to providing a high-quality and comprehensive
curriculum that supports the health, safety and well-being of our pupils.
As you are aware, following the Department for Education’s updated statutory guidance, we are currently reviewing our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) curriculum to ensure that we are delivering lessons which:
● are in line with British Values
● uphold the law of the land in accordance with the Equality Act of 2010 and the SEND Code of Practice
● help keep our pupils safe by providing them with the necessary information they need to recognise appropriate and inappropriate relationships and behaviour (both in person and online) and how to respond to any concerns they may have
● meet children’s social and emotional needs
We believe that RSHE is most effective when it is a partnership between home and school, and that is why we have held recent face-to-face and online meetings about the new RSHE syllabus and policy, where we presented:
● Key changes in the new guidance (Personal Safety, Online Safety, Mental Wellbeing,
Biological Accuracy)
● What is being taught and when (age-appropriate curriculum)
● Your rights, including the withdrawal of your child from non-statutory sex education
components (Note- Relationships and Health Education continue to be statutory)
