In response to the High Court’s ruling today, director of school leaders’ union NAHT Cymru, Laura Doel, said: “We welcome the ruling by the judiciary today that will see plans to roll out RSE to all learners across Wales continue.
“NAHT Cymru firmly believes that allowing children to learn about religion, relationships and sexuality will enable them to safely and successfully navigate life outside of school.
“We must give this generation of learners the opportunity to learn about themselves and others, and how to keep themselves safe and healthy.
“While we recognise that this must be done in an age appropriate way, we must not lose sight of what we are trying to achieve, which is to support our children and young people to engage with different beliefs and a diversity of views, so that they can develop their own understanding of and respect for themselves and others.”
