Effective teaching of RSE in KS2

Confident delivery. Age-appropriate practice. Safe, inclusive learning.

This CPD session for Year 5 and Year 6 teachers supports the effective delivery of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE). It develops understanding of statutory requirements and provides practical guidance to ensure high-quality, age-appropriate teaching.

Participants will explore approaches to teaching key content, including healthy relationships and puberty, alongside strategies for assessment and pupil engagement. The session also focuses on creating safe, inclusive learning environments and responding to sensitive questions with clarity and confidence.

Through practical examples and classroom-focused strategies, teachers will:

• deliver RSHE in line with statutory guidance

• plan and teach age-appropriate, well-sequenced lessons

• use assessment to support understanding and progression

• create a safe and inclusive environment for discussion

• manage sensitive topics and pupil questions effectively

By the end of the session, participants will feel confident in delivering RSE that is structured, consistent and responsive to pupil needs.
