The Department for Education introduced compulsory relationships and sex education (RSE) for secondary pupils from September 2020, in addition to compulsory health education.
As part of this, all schools are required to consult with parents when developing and reviewing their policies for relationships and sex education, which will inform decisions on when and how certain content is covered.
Effective engagement gives the space and time for parents to input, ask questions, share concerns and for the Group to decide the way forward. Spaghetti Bridge will listen to parents’ views, and then make a reasonable decision as to how they wish to proceed. When and how content is taught is ultimately a decision for the Group, and consultation does not provide a parental veto on curriculum content.
You can find further details about the introduction of compulsory relationships education, as well as answers to many other frequently asked questions, on the government website.
