PSHE
The National Curriculum states that ‘all schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice'. PSHE education contributes to schools' statutory duties outlined in the Education Act 2002 and the Academies Act 2010 to provide a balanced and broadly-based curriculum and is essential to Ofsted judgements in relation to personal development, behaviour, welfare and safeguarding.

The guidance should be read in conjunction with:
• Keeping Children Safe in Education (statutory guidance)

• SMSC requirements for independent schools (guidance for independent schools on how they should support pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development).
A parent has a legal right to withdraw their child(ren) from all or part of any RSHE provided (but not from the biological aspects of human growth and reproduction necessary under the National Curriculum for science). We wish to work in partnership with all parents and strongly recommend that any parent considering this action discusses their concerns with the head teacher.
