24 September 2020 Ofsted will check school readiness to teach relationships and sex education from January 2021

New guidance issued by Ofsted confirms that schools will have their readiness to teach the new relationships and sex education curriculum assessed when inspections recommence in January 2021

Whilst inspectors will comment on schools' readiness to comply in their reports from January, school compliance 'will not impact inspection judgements until the start of the Summer term 2021'

Teaching relationships education is compulsory in all schools from this year, with sex education also being compulsory in secondary schools

Schools have been told by the DfE that they 'should aim to start preparations to deliver the new curriculum as soon as possible and start teaching the new content by at least the start of the Summer term 2021' but 'should still be able to show how they will cover the whole curriculum in the future'
