Early Adopter School Programme for Relationships Education

DfE are inviting PHE's assistance in recruiting schools to the Early Adopter School Programme for Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education.

The registration for the programme is now open. DfE is looking for schools that will start teaching the new requirements from September 2019. Schools that register now can participate in a user testing exercise that starts at the end of March. This exercise will test what teachers and schools want from a training programme and how the department can deliver it.

Information about the early adopter school programme and how schools can register is attached. Please can you distribute through your public health teams and ask them to get out directly to schools or for PH teams to use it in their conversations with schools. If you have any questions about the registration process or the Early Adopter School Programme in general, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Jamie Tattersall, Policy Advisor, Early Years & Schools Group at DfE (Jamie.tattersall@education.gov.uk). Schools can also contact DfE directly at rshe.earlyadopters@education.gov.uk
