Our Relationships and sex education (RSE) policy has to follow the statutory guidance by the Department of Education.  Part of this guidance involves us consulting on the parental view.  The following letter was sent on 1st July 2024.

Dear Families,

An important aspect of preparing children for life is our provision of the Sex and Relationships Education. Amongst other aspects, under the ‘Personal Development’ section of the Ofsted inspection framework, we are expected to: Develop responsible, respectful and active citizens; Develop children’s understanding of fundamental British values; Ensure that children understand how to keep physically healthy; Develop children’s knowledge of healthy relationships and sex education (RSE). There are many other aspects as well!

Clearly, this is a statutory part of the provision in every school across the country – the guidelines for which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education . We are obliged to consult on the policy with the parental body, so you will see attached to this letter our proposed policy for the next two years. The consultation period will be from Monday 1st July to Friday 12th July. Any responses can be sent to pnicholls@gulval.tpacademytrust.org .

We welcome your thoughts and comments.

Kind regards

Mr P Baker

Headteacher
