This consultation begins on Tuesday 6th July 2021 and will close on Tuesday 13th July 2021.
Dear Parents/Carers,
As a part of your child’s educational experience at Fellgate Primary School, we aim to promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive taught programme of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education that gives children and young people the knowledge, under-standing, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive and fulfilled lives, both now and in the future.
As you may already be aware, the Department for Education has announced changes to relationships and sex education (RSE) following nationwide consultation. All schools will be required to comply with the updated requirements. Statutory guidance can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education
The new guidance focuses on healthy relationships and keeping children safe in the modern world. It also covers a wide range of topics relating to physical and mental health, wellbeing, safeguarding and healthy relationships.
Consequently, Relationships, along with Health Education, will be statutory, and form part of the National Curriculum. The DfE continue to recommend that all primary schools should have a sex education programme tailored to the age and the physical and emotional maturity of the pupils. This means that we have been reviewing our RSE (Relationship and Sex Education) curriculum and policy so we can be sure our provision is appropriate for our pupils
Can you please spend some time looking at the documents (attached below) and answer the questions on this questionnaire? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdExrYkQxcskKlHLQiXJoulPEmU1iLaoYF9Obyf3Vtuixs9wQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

If you have any queries regarding the consultation process, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Mills
PSHE Curriculum Subject Lead
