Relationships Education at Hartshead
The Department for Education published statutory guidance for the teaching of Relationships Education, Realtionships and Sex Education and Heatlh Eduacation. This statutory guidance must be implemented by September 2021.
Right to withdraw your child:-
You cannot withdraw your child from Relationships Education because it is important that all children receive this content, covering topics such as friendships and how to stay safe.
If you do not want your child to take part in some or all of the lessons on Sex Education, you can ask that they are withdrawn. At primary level, the Headteacher must grant this request. The science curriculum in all maintained schools also includes content on human development, including reproduction, which there is no right to withdraw from. If you would like to discuss this, please contact the School Office to make an appointment with the Headteacher.
