The RSE framework is delivered in PSHE fortnightly lessons, the pastoral programme during tutor time, targeted assemblies, and drop-down events and days (all students). Our RSE curriculum has been carefully produced and sequenced to take into account age appropriateness and provides students with the knowledge that will enable them to make educated decisions on aspects such as wellbeing, relationships, and how to navigate the online world safely. A key focus is to provide guidance on how to seek advice and support. This knowledge will allow our students to make informed decisions regarding any complex situation they may face. The curriculum is aligned with the Government’s Statutory guidance on Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).

The Government are currently undertaking a Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) review. Therefore, Valence School are awaiting the publication of the new, updated statutory guidance to inform our next RSHE Policy review.
