PSHE Programme and Parental Consultation regarding RSE.

At the Bay CE School, we are committed to helping all our students grow up healthy, happy and safe, and to be able to navigate life in modern Britain. This underpins so much of what we do in school, as in embedded within our PSHE and Pastoral programme, as well as our House system and opportunities. 

The teaching of RSE and health education in secondary schools officially became compulsory from September 2020. Whilst we, alongside all schools, have been teaching this for many years, we do have the freedom to deliver the content within the context of our own school. 

For this reason, I want to take this opportunity, prior to the summer term, to share some key features of this important part of the curriculum and promote opportunities for parental consultation to ensure the curriculum is appropriate for our children.

We would also like to invite you to complete an online survey using the following link: click here.

Please note

• The survey asks for thoughts and feedback to this essential part of every child’s education. 
• The link will remain live until Thursday 30th March. 
• Within this period if you have any questions you wish to ask Miss Feltham, our leader of PSHE/ RSE, please contact her directly via bfeltham@bayceschool.org
• Thursday March 30th presents an opportunity for parents to attend a Question and Answer session at the Bay Secondary site 4 – 5pm. All parents are welcome to attend for further questions and information about any aspect of the RSE provision and resources. 

We hope you do see this as an important opportunity to recognise the contribution RSE makes to pupil wellbeing and keeping children safe.
