Curriculum Intent: RVE and RSE

Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE) at Cila Primary School

Religion, Values and Ethics (RVE) is a statutory requirement of the Curriculum for Wales and is mandatory for all learners from ages 3 to 16. RVE forms part of the Humanities Area. The Area encompasses Business Studies, Geography, History, Religion, Values and Ethics and Social Studies. These disciplines share many common themes, concepts and transferable skills whilst having their own discrete body of knowledge and skills.

RVE at Cila Primary School is delivered in accordance with the Swansea locally agreed syllabus for RVE (2022). Our curriculum is planned to ensure that all pupils receive objective, critical and pluralistic RVE and are given opportunities to develop their religious literacy throughout their time in Cila Primary School.

In accordance with Welsh Government legislation, there is no right to withdraw from RVE.

Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) at Cila Primary School

Our school curriculum embraces the RSE Code. Our RSE provision will have a positive and empowering role in our learners’ education and will play a vital role in supporting them to realise the four purposes as part of a whole-school approach. Helping learners to form and maintain a range of relationships, all based on mutual trust and respect, is the foundation of RSE. These relationships are critical to the development of emotional well-being, resilience and empathy.

In accordance with Welsh Government legislation, there is no right to withdraw from RSE.
