PSHE – Personal Social Health Economic Education; the curriculum:
A curriculum through which children learn skills they need to have a healthy, safe and fulfilling life beyond school.
RSHE – Relationship, Sex and Health Education:
A curriculum through which children explore the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up. They learn about positive relationships, growth and changes, as well as physical and mental health.
The Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSE) curriculum became statutory in September 2020. Relationships and Sex Education supports and guides children and young people in lifelong learning about relationships, emotions, the human biology of sex and sexuality.
It is compulsory for all primary school children to receive relationship and health education.
Parents have the right to withdraw the children from aspects of sex education which are not part of the science curriculum. If this is something that you are considering, we would ask you to contact school so that you can discuss this with your child’s class teacher.
