Relationships & Sex Education

If you would like more information about statutory Relationships and Health Education, please click below to read the government guide “Understanding Relationships and Health Education in your child’s primary school: a guide for parents”. 

At Copperfield Academy, we have been delivering Relationships and Health Education within our Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) curriculum.  We have reviewed and re-written our PSHE curriculum ready for October 2024 (after our consultation), to make sure that our lessons meet the requirements that the government has set out for the content of Relationships and Health Education.  

We have also updated our PSHE/RSHE policy to reflect the new statutory status for Relationships, Sex and Health Education, which can be found: https://copperfieldacademy.org/pshe-and-sre/

In order to develop our curriculum, we ran a parent focus group in October 2024 to discuss the proposed curriculum as part of our policy consultation process.  Our Policy will be reviewed again in May 2025, with subsequent amendments to be in place by September 2025.

Links to our curriculum and other resources that we think may be useful can be found below. As with all areas of your child’s learning, if you have any questions about the curriculum please contact the office.
