Thank you to the parents and carers who attended our RSHE parent consultation yesterday. As always, we are incredibly grateful for the support shown. We had representation from parents and carers across all year groups, which was greatly appreciated.
Parent Feedback
- 100% of parents/carers in attendance rated the session as “Very informative” or “Informative”.
- 100% stated they had no concerns about our RSHE curriculum.
- When asked how happy they felt about how Newdale is planning to deliver the new RSHE curriculum (on a scale of 1–5, with 5 being very happy):
- 90% rated it a 5
- 10% rated it a 4
We received many positive comments about the curriculum and resources shared during the session, including:
“Very appropriate and factual” – Year 2 parent/carer
“It goes into much less detail than I expected and feels very age‑appropriate” – Year 2 parent/carer
“I am pleased my kids can learn this in school properly. I support 100%” – Year 4/6 parent/carer
“Resources are appropriate and very clear” – Year 4 parent/carer
“Vocabulary and resources are age‑appropriate and informative” – Year 6 parent/carer
“Newdale, as usual, have it in hand” – Year 6 parent/carer
“Love that they learn about consent and healthy relationships” – Year 5 parent/carer
“Excellent resources” – Year 5 parent/carer
“No suggestions, just a big thank you for making this easier for parents” Year 3 parent/carer
A small number of additional suggestions were shared via the feedback forms. We would like to reassure parents that some of those areas are already covered within our E‑Safety curriculum and are explored in more depth within the Key Stage 3 curriculum.
For parents and carers who were unable to attend, please be reassured that our RSHE curriculum has been carefully planned in line with government guidance and is delivered in an age‑appropriate way. Our aim is to prepare children for the changes they will experience while supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
RSHE resources have been emailed to parents should you wish to view specific year‑group lessons. Please note that in addition to lesson PowerPoints, there are two video links:
- One video is included for Year 5 covering puberty
- One video is included for Year 6 covering conception and reproduction
Thank you once again for your continued support and for trusting that we are working tirelessly to provide the best education for your children—ensuring they are well informed, empowered, and know how to keep themselves safe.
Miss Cook, Miss Macfarlane and Mrs Churm
