The Welsh government's education minister said the ruling was a 'vindication' of its approach while campaigners have called it a 'devastating blow'.
"As the respondents point out, however, the fundamental difficulty with these challenges is that the code and guidance do no such thing."The Welsh government's RSE code says from the age of seven pupils will be taught"an awareness of how positive and negative social and cultural norms regarding sex, gender and sexuality influence relationships and behaviours".Lord Justice Males added that diversity and inclusion were"fundamental" to British society.
The Welsh government's education minister, Jeremy Miles, said the Court of Appeal's judgement was an"important vindication" of the government's approach. "Schools are legally required to ensure that learning is developmentally appropriate, to provide information on RSE which includes a range of views on the subject and which does not seek to promote one view over another."The Welsh Conservatives, the largest opposition party in the Senedd, said they were"disappointed" by the ruling.
