St. Cuthbert's Primary School Seaham
From Summer 2021, the Department for Education made Relationships and Health Education (Primary) and Relationships Sex Education and Health Education compulsory in all schools. Parents cannot withdraw their children from this aspect of education.
The programme we use focuses on healthy relationships and keeping children safe in the modern world. It also covers a wide range of topics relating to physical and mental health, wellbeing, safeguarding and healthy relationships. Learning about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, it gives children and young people the information, skills and positive values to have safe, fulfilling relationships and will help them take responsibility for their own well-being. All of the sessions are age-appropriate and meet the needs of all pupils in the class.
Schools also need to consult with families each year and this is your opportunity to look closely at what your child will be taught next year and share your thoughts with us.
