Parent/Carer Consultation regarding Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
Parent/Carer Consultation regarding Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
The Department for Education has made teaching of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education compulsory in all secondary schools since September 2020. However, due to the pandemic the compulsory implementation of this curriculum was delayed to Summer 2021. Most of this programme is delivered through our Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme delivered through Curriculum for Life (CfL) and LIFE lessons.
We have made updates to our curriculum for 2021-2022 to ensure that our curriculum explicitly educates our students about sexual abuse and sexual harassment following the Ofsted review of sexual abuse in schools and colleges in the wake of the Everyone's Invited website and the murder of Sarah Everard in 2021.
Our parent/carer consultation on the programme of Relationships and Sex Education that we to deliver at Oaks Park High school has now closed. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents/carers who contributed to the consultation.
