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 place a strong emphasis on the holistic development of every child, recognising that personal growth extends far beyond academic achievement.
Our innovative PHSE/RSE curriculum is thoughtfully designed to support each child’s unique journey, equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for personal success, both now and in the future. This inclusive offer is available to all pupils, with a firm commitment to removing any barriers to participation or progress.
We provide a rich array of opportunities that nurture personal development, carefully tailored to meet both group and individual needs. These opportunities are closely aligned with our PSHE curriculum, Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) education, and whole-school assemblies.
Our RSE Parent consultation was completed in September 2025 and our policy was subsequently adapted. 

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.
