In September, Relationships education, along with health education, becomes statutory in primary schools across England. Sex education continues to be recommended for all primary schools.
Schools may not feel as prepared as they would like to for the start of the new subjects, and may also be anxious about the wellbeing of their pupils and staff. This is the moment to convert those worries into simple activities that celebrate everyone’s role in relationships and sex education, and open up conversations that can inform future plans for RSE at your school.
The Department for Education (DfE) has recently clarified that relationships education and health education will still be statutory from September 1, but recognising the impact of Covid-19 and school closures, has encouraged schools to take a phased approach if they are not fully prepared in time.
