Relationship, Sex and Health Education curriculum & consultation

PSHE Education (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) gives children the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives successfully — now and in the future.

Relationships Education and Health Education are compulsory for all primary-aged pupils. Primary schools may choose whether to teach additional sex education; however, parents cannot withdraw their child from the aspects of learning that form part of the National Curriculum for Science.

The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its statutory guidance for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. The revised guidance will come into effect from 1 September 2026, and all schools are expected to have regard to the updated requirements.

To support parents and carers, the Department for Education has produced guidance explaining the statutory requirements. We have also provided information outlining what pupils are expected to know by the end of primary school. Please click on the links below for further details:
