Dear Parents/Carers,
Relationship and Health Education (RHE)
It is compulsory for all schools to teach Relationships Education and Health Education. The purpose of these subjects is to support all young people to be happy, healthy and safe – to equip them for adult life and to help support children to make positive contributions to society.
As part of this, all schools are required to consult with parents/carers when developing and reviewing their policies for Relationship and Health Education, which will inform decision on when and how certain content is covered.
Effective engagement gives the space and time for parent/carers to input, ask questions, share concerns and for the school to decide the way forward. We will listen to your views, and then make a reasonable decision on how best to proceed. When and how content is taught is ultimately a decision for the school, and consultation does not provide a parental veto on curriculum content.
