Rejected petition End Sex Education in Primary Schools.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you are concerned about sex education in primary schools. However, sex education is not compulsory in primary, and parents are entitled to withdraw their children from sex education lessons in schools which choose to teach it, so we're not sure what it is you'd like the Government to do differently.

You can read guidance for primary schools on the teaching of sex education here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education/relationships-education-primary#sex-education-primary.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
