RSE Information

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) is our comprehensive curriculum for supporting young people's personal development, health, wellbeing and understanding of relationships. We use the Jigsaw national curriculum to help us achieve this.

We are required by law to teach Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education to all secondary-aged pupils. We deliver these statutory subjects within our broader PSHE programme, which also includes elements of age-appropriate economic education (preparing young people to understand financial matters and the world of work) and citizenship education (including fundamental British
values, helping pupils understand their rights, responsibilities and role in society).

The DfE statutory guidance (July 2025) states:

"Children and young people need knowledge and skills that will enable them to make informed and ethical decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships. High quality, evidence-based teaching of relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) can help prepare pupils for the opportunities and responsibilities of adult life, and can promote their moral, social, mental and physical development."

The Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) policy explains our whole-school approach to RSE/PSHE education and how we meet our statutory duties, a copy can be found here.
