Government funding of £6 million has been set aside to provide a training and resources package for schools to deliver statutory relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education.
After receiving more than 11,000 consultation responses, the government published its revised statutory guidance for the new subjects late last month.
Under the guidance, all schools – state and private – will need to deliver relationships education (primary phase) or RSE (secondary phase) from September 2020. Primary schools will be free to choose if they deliver aspects of sex education too.
Health education will also be mandatory from the same date, but only for maintained schools, including academies.
