Relationships and Sex Education: Fylde
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to ensure equal access to (a) comprehensive and (b) age-appropriate relationships and sex education across schools in Fylde.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
Relationships education is compulsory for all primary school pupils, and relationships and sex education compulsory for all secondary school pupils in England.
The department published revised relationships, sex and health education statutory guidance on 15 July, which sets out a comprehensive and age-appropriate curriculum for all pupils in England. The revised guidance will become statutory on 1 September 2026, replacing the existing guidance which has been in force since 2020. This guidance is accessible at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education.
