Statutory changes 2020 Relationships Education and Health Education Parents and Carers Meeting Brookfield Primary School
Relationships and Health Education and our School Values As a school we value diversity and foster mutual respect, modelling and inspiring values in pupils such as respect, empathy and honesty. These underpin and inform the relationships we have, between pupils and between adults and pupils We believe that the Equality Act (2010) provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. It also ensures that we continue to tackle issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups.
In this meeting we will cover What the statutory changes are The key aspects of the new government guidance What schools will need to do to get ready for September 2020 Our plans

Why is the curriculum changing? The government s guidance was last updated almost 20 years ago (2000) and it needs to be more relevant for our children living in the 21st century To recognise the crucial role that these subjects make to keeping our children healthy, happy and safe

Key Aspects of DfE Guidance Schools decide what to teach at what age and how they deliver the content, taking account of parents , staff and governors views Planned programme, high quality teaching which takes account of the needs of vulnerable pupils and the religious background of pupils Assess pupils progress Ensure content is accessible to all pupils including SEND
Key Aspects of DfE Guidance Comply with the Equality Act; promote equality, respect difference and prevent prejudice and discrimination Expect all schools to teach LGBT content eg different families The new subjects are designed to foster respect for others and for difference, and educate pupils about healthy relationships and teach about the society in which they are growing up
Key Aspects of DfE Guidance Produce a Relationships Education Policy and consult with parents and carers, staff and governors Ensure that parents and carers know what will be taught and when (particularly sex education before Y6) Suggest offer support to parents and carers to talk to their child about sex education and how to link this with what is being taught in school
Is this very different compared to now?
