Relationship and Sex Education

Relationship and Sex Education (RSE) – Parent Consultation 

The Department for Education introduced compulsory relationships and sex education (RSE) for secondary pupils from September 2020, in addition to compulsory health education. 

As part of this, all schools are required to consult with parents when developing and reviewing their policies for relationships and sex education, which will inform decisions on when and how certain content is covered. 

You can find further details about the introduction of compulsory relationships education, as well as answers to many other frequently asked questions, on the government website.

Spiritual Development

Spiritual development is something unique and fundamental to the human condition. It is not necessarily experienced through the physical senses or through everyday language. It is to do with the search for the purpose and meaning of life and for values by which to live.

Moral Development

Moral Development is concerned with fundamental precepts and judgments about how we should behave and the reasons for such behaviour. It includes questions of intention, motive and attitude.

Social Development

Social Development is concerned with the skills and personal qualities necessary for individuals to live and function effectively in society, and involves a growth in knowledge and understanding of society in all its aspects.

Cultural Development

Cultural Development refers to the personal interests and achievements of students as well as the development of an increasing understanding and command of the beliefs, values, customs, knowledge and skills which, taken together, form the basis of identity and cohesion in society.
