Question
What information does the Welsh Government hold regarding instances of non-attendance in compulsory elements of the school curriculum, including relationships and sexuality education?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
The Welsh Government does not hold information on instances of non‑attendance in compulsory elements of the school curriculum. Schools in Wales must record all non‑attendance using the national Welsh Government attendance codes. This information is collated by local authorities.
Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) is a mandatory part of the Curriculum for Wales for all learners, as set out in the Curriculum and Assessment (Wales) Act 2021.
