Spring Term
R.S.E.
WEEKS COMMENCING 28.06.21 & 05.07.21 & 12.07.21
In Primary Education from September 2020:
- Parents will not be able to withdraw their children from any aspect of Relationships Education or Health Education (which includes learning about the changing adolescent body and puberty).
- Parents will be able to withdraw their children from any aspects of Sex Education other than those which are part of the science curriculum.
The objective of Relationship and Sex Education is to help and support young people through their physical, emotional and moral development. A successful programme, firmly embedded in PSHE, will help young people learn to respect themselves and others and move with confidence from childhood through adolescence into adulthood.
The Department of Education recommends that all primary schools should have a Relationship and Sex Education programme tailored to the age and the physical and emotional maturity of the children. It should ensure that both boys and girls know
about puberty and how a baby is born – as set out in Key Stages 1 and 2 of the National Science Curriculum.
