RSHE Consultation Information

In July 2020 we consulted parents on our Relationship, Sex and Health Education here at NGA. This consultation gave, staff, students and parents the opportunity to read our PSHE curriculum mapping documents, to view a sample of tutorial resources, to read about the programme on our website page and to feedback information via a questionnaire. 

In July 2025, the government updated statutory RSHE content, and we are writing out to parents now that we have updated our policy once again.

Disclaimer:  While your views as parents are welcome, they do not amount to a veto over curriculum content. We understand that different parents/ carers are likely to have conflicting views and the academy needs to consider other factors, alongside parent/carer views, in making our decision. This means that a veto from parents/carers is not possible and would not be in the best interests of the Academy. We are clear that all parties should engage in open, constructive and respectful dialogue at all times. 

Changes at-a-glance 

PSHE or RSHE?  

• It used to be that around 75-80% of PSHE education was compulsory, through statutory RSHE.  

• Under the 2025 guidance, this is closer to 90%.  

What are the changes? 

Legacy RSHE Consultation Findings 2020 

Findings from the parent consultation 2020 

  • The Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum mapping document has changed to accommodate the science curriculum, there has been some movement to ensure our students understand the safety aspects and the law regarding their decisions around sex and that religious beliefs need to be holistically discussed. 

  • More information has been added to the PSHE Policy which focuses on RSE, to make parents/carers more aware of the materials and resources that are available to support them with their conversations at home. 

  • A summarised science curriculum mapping document which identifies where RSE is taught in science lessons. 

  • Phone calls to a mixture of parents/carers from students in different year groups, to discuss some specific individual feedback. 

  • We had discussions with the RSE Consultant for Nottingham City Council regarding age-appropriate content and resources.  

Once again, we thank you for your continued support and your feedback is always valued and appreciated. 

If you would like more information on the consultation about the updated statutory changes to content, or to pass on your feedback, please contact the PSHE Coordinator Ruth Gangneux on rgangneux@nottinghamgirlsacademy.org
