Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Curriculum at Stanbury Village School
At Stanbury Village School, we believe that Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) is a vital component of our pupils' personal, social, and emotional development. RSE equips our pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to form healthy relationships, make informed decisions, and understand their own bodies and emotions. In line with the statutory guidance set out by the Department for Education, we are committed to providing a comprehensive RSE curriculum that is both age-appropriate and sensitive to the needs of our pupils.
In 2021, we undertook a thorough consultation with parents and carers to gather their insights and perspectives before implementing our RSE curriculum. This collaborative approach ensured that our curriculum reflects the values and expectations of our school community. We understand the importance of parental involvement in the education of their children, especially regarding sensitive topics like RSE. As a result, we actively sought feedback from families to create a curriculum that aligns with our shared vision for our pupils' education.
Moving forward, we are committed to maintaining an open line of communication with our families. Should we propose any significant changes to our RSE policy or curriculum, we will issue a further consultation to ensure that parents and carers have the opportunity to voice their opinions and contribute to the ongoing development of our RSE programme. This collaborative approach not only fosters trust but also strengthens the partnership between school and home, ultimately benefiting our pupils' learning experiences.
It is essential to note that our RSE curriculum is guided by the statutory framework established by the Department for Education, which outlines the requirements for teaching Relationships Education in primary schools. This legislation emphasises the importance of teaching pupils about healthy relationships, consent, and respect for others. By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that our RSE curriculum is not only compliant but also relevant and beneficial for our pupils as they navigate their formative years.
Through our commitment to a high-quality RSE curriculum and ongoing consultation with our school community, we aim to provide our pupils with the knowledge and understanding they need to thrive in their relationships and personal lives.
