Our PSHE Curriculum<\/span><\/h3>

At Stonegate C of E Primary School, we acknowledge that under the Education Act 2002\/Academies Act 2010 all schools must provide a balanced and broadly-based curriculum and so have a policy that not only covers the statutory content but covers all aspects of our Personal, Social, Health Economic (PSHE) education provision. As a Church of England school, we are committed to providing faith-sensitive and inclusive relationships, sex and health education (PSHE).<\/p>

Our PSHE Policy and long-term overview has been adapted to meet the 2025 Statutory additions to the Relationships, Sex and Health Education Framework which is included within the \u2018Policy Documents\u2019 below. Our PSHE and wellbeing curriculum is based on SCARF half-termly units and related key themes, further information can be found at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.coramlifeeducation.org.uk\/<\/a><\/p><\/div>

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)<\/span><\/h3>

The vast majority of RSHE is compulsory.<\/strong>\u00a0There is no right to withdraw from Relationships Education or Health Education.<\/strong><\/p>

Parents and carers are only able to request that their child is excused from Sex Education, taught outside of the national curriculum for science. If a parent wishes their child to be excused from some or all of the non-statutory Sex Education, they should discuss this with the Headteacher, making clear which aspects of the programme they do not wish their child to participate in. The Headteacher will outline to parents\/carers the benefits of receiving this important education and any detrimental effects that withdrawal might have on the child. This could include any social and emotional effects of being excluded as well as the likelihood of the child hearing their peers\u2019 version of what was said in the classes rather than what was directly said by the teacher (although detrimental effects may be mitigated if the parents\/carers propose to deliver sex education to their child at home instead).<\/p>

Once a decision has been made, parents\/carers must inform the school in writing stating their reasons as to why they would like their child withdrawn. Once these discussions have taken place, except in exceptional circumstances, our school will respect a parent\/carers\u2019 request to have their child excused from non-statutory sex education. The school will document this process.\u00a0<\/p>

Every year, we will invite KS2 parents to an RSE Workshop in\u00a0Term 5<\/strong>\u00a0to inform parents of the content and right to withdraw before teaching commences in Term 6. Further information will be given closer to the time.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
