Re: Relationships, Health & Sex Education (RHSE) Policy Consultation – Autumn 2024

We have made some decisions relating to our delivery of statutory RHSE at Acorn Academy that may come into effect during 2024-25. The most significant change is a move to the regularly updated, ‘Kapow PSHE’ Scheme of work covering significant elements of statutory RHSE. The change of scheme results in some small adjustments to the content that will be covered.

It is, therefore, necessary for us to provide parents with a period of consultation regarding this change; providing the details of the new scheme and some guidance. We have set up a dedicated page on our website where you can view the revised policy and the parental guidance issued by ‘Kapow’ regarding their RHSE curriculum.

"If parents have concerns about the content of the curriculum then they should first discuss these with the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher.”

You can provide your feedback on this policy update or curriculum by emailing admin@acornacademy.net

Please be advised that the consultation period will end on 4 December 2024 before any changes to the curriculum content are ratified by the local governing committee (LGC) on 5 December 2024.
