Pendle Primary Academy
Relationships and Health Education
From September 2020, the teaching of Relationships and Health Education is statutory in Primary schools. At Pendle Primary Academy, this will be taught as part of the PSHE and Science curriculum, and will focus on the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.
Further information about our current policy and PSHE curriculum can be found below and on the curriculum pages of the website.
Schools are required to consult with parents when developing and reviewing their policies for relationships and health education, which will help to inform decisions on when and how certain content is covered. When and how content is taught is ultimately a decision for the academy, and consultation does not provide a parental veto on curriculum content.
