RSE (Relationships and Sex Education)
The Relationships Education, RSE, and Health Education (England) Regulations 2019 have made Relationships Education compulsory in all primary schools. Sex education is not compulsory in primary schools.
​
All primary school children will be required to learn about relationships and health. Relationships and Health Education comprises two distinct areas:
​
-
Relationships
-
Physical health and mental wellbeing
​
Schools will have a lot of freedom to decide how to teach the RSE curriculum but must teach in a way that is:
​
-
Appropriate for children’s ages and development stage.
-
Sensitive to the needs and religious backgrounds of the children in the school.
PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, Economic Education)
PSHE sits alongside the RSE curriculum. There is a degree of overlap between the two areas.
As a subject, PSHE aims to provide children with the knowledge and skills to keep themselves happy, healthy and safe, as well as to prepare them for life and work. Navigating our complex world can be challenging, and parents and teachers play an essential role in preparing children for the future. As such, PSHE aims to equip pupils, appropriate to their age, to:
-
Take individual responsibility for their physical and mental wellbeing;
-
Understand the risks of drugs and alcohol and how to stay safe online;
-
Develop resilience, independence and responsibility;
-
Develop the personal and social skills required to succeed in commerce and industry;
-
Identify misleading information and be critical of misleading news or views they might encounter.
​
PSHE will not necessarily always be taught as a subject in its own right. It can also be taught in assemblies and class discussions, and also in other subjects such as Computing (online safety).
