WHY ATTEND?
From September 2019, Relationships & Sex Education (RSE) will become a stautory subject in all schools (Relationships Education in primary schools) and work has now begun to on defining the curriculum content for this most vital of subjects. PSHE is also expected to become statutory once the RSE curriculum has been agreed.
