Relationship and Sex Education (RSE)

As a part of your child’s educational experience at Clarkson Infant and Nursery School, we aim to promote personal well-being and development through a comprehensive taught programme of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education that gives children and young people the knowledge, under-standing, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive and fulfilled lives, both now and in the future.

What is RSE?

The focus in our school will be on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.

The right to withdraw

Parents have the right to request that their child be withdrawn from some or all of sex education delivered as part of statutory RSE. Before making such a request, please meet with the headteacher or a member of SLT to discuss this option and ensure that wishes are understood and clarify the nature and purpose of the curriculum.
