PSHE/RSE Parent/Carer Consultation 2026-27

As part of your child's education at Bacton Primary School, we promote personal wellbeing and development through a comprehensive Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education programme which we deliver through PSHE lessons and assemblies. PSHE education gives the young people in our community the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live safe, healthy and productive lives.

It is a statutory requirement that all schools in England and Wales teach relationships, sex (RSE) and health education as a fundamental part of the curriculum. You may also be aware that there will be some changes to the statutory guidance which will take effect from September 2026. As part of the implementation of this updated curriculum, schools must consult with children, parents, staff and governors to ensure there is a consensus on our approaches to policy and curriculum content. 

Bacton Primary School will be starting this consultation process on 13th July and the consultation will close on 10th August 2026. As part of the consultation, parents, staff and governors will be asked to read through the following two documents and make comments on them. 

1. PSHE/RSE Policy - emailed with letter - copy available on policies page
2. Bacton Primary School Curriculum overview - see below
3. Parent consultation letter - sent via Arbor

You may also wish to read the statutory guidance from the government on RSE and health education here.
