Parent Survey Feedback PSHE RSE May 2026
PSHE / RSE Review 2026
In preparation for the new PSHE / RSE curriculum – September 2026
As a school the surveys confirm strong support for the current PSHE and RSE provision.
The positive feedback on both delivery and the balanced use of KAPOW alongside supplementary resources demonstrates a professional and responsive approach by staff. This flexibility contributes to high-quality, child-centred learning experiences that meet the diverse needs of the school community.
This approach demonstrates the school’s commitment to responding positively to parents’ feedback and continuously improving the quality and visibility of PSHE and RSE at Waterhouses CE Primary Academy and Nursery.
By implementing these measures, we will ensure that all pupils receive a rich, relevant, and well-supported programme that prepares them for life in modern Britain.
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) remain central to our curriculum and its delivery.
Please see attached for the detailed survey feedback.

Right to withdraw
At Waterhouses C.E. Primary Academy & Nursery, we aim to provide an inclusive and broad Religious Education (R.E.) curriculum which respects all backgrounds and provides an understanding of elements of different faiths across the world. However, we recognise the legal right of parents to withdraw their children from all, or part, of Religious Education and Collective Worship. If you wish to exercise this right, please speak to the Executive Principal/ Headteacher/ Executive School Leader/ School Leader to discuss your request. Alternative supervision will be provided if you wish to withdraw your child from this learning.
Parents also have the right to request that their child be withdrawn from some or all of sex education delivered as part of statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). Parents may not withdraw children from other elements of relationships and health education (everyone has relationships with others), nor can children be removed from topics taught within the Science curriculum which includes learning about puberty or sexual reproduction. Should a parent request for their child to be withdrawn from sex education, a member of the school team may wish to meet to understand the request and to clarify the nature and purpose of the curriculum and to highlight how it will remain likely that their child may hear their peers’ version of what was said, which may be inaccurate. School may document this process. Relationships education will focus on how to form and sustain positive relationships but will also help children identify risks and harms. Relationships education may therefore include topics related to preventing sexual abuse, for example, or avoiding sharing inappropriate material online. Alternative supervision will be provided if you wish to withdraw your child from this learning.
