In 2019 we introduced RSHE to Burnopfield. In October 2021 we reviewed our RSHE policy and curriculum  in line with updated statutory DfE guidance. As part of this process we sent an outline of our suggested curriculum to all parents for information and approval. Although this area of learning is titled  ‘Relationships, Sex and Health Education,’ the main focus in primary schools is on healthy and respectful relationships and families and friendships in a range of contexts. This is taught at an age-appropriate level and promotes values of  inclusion and tolerance. This is a compulsory subject and must be taught. (DfE 2019)

​

Our RSHE plans for each year group are available on our website and include statutory teaching about healthy relationships/different families.

In February 2026 we moved to Kapow to support our teaching of PSE and RSE in school. Parent guidance and Medium term plans are available below.

Parents were consulted in January 2026.
