Your requirements
All schools with a secondary phase (including all-through and middle schools) need to provide:
- Relationships and sex education (RSE)
- Health education
This is set out in the DfE's guidance.
You must have an RSE policy
You need a policy in place and you must consult parents/carers to develop and review it.
You must also publish your RSE policy on your school's website.
This requirement is outlined in sections 8 to 12 of the Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education (England) Regulations 2019.
It is referred to as a 'statement' in the legislation linked above, but the DfE confirmed that this refers to the policy.
Independent schools
All the requirements above apply, except around the new health education requirement, because you're already required to provide PSHE.
You should share curriculum materials with parents and carers
