Education secretary Gillian Keegan will write to schools again to reiterate the need for leaders to share relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) curriculum materials with parents.
The Department for Education has also drawn up a sample letter that it says schools can use if curriculum providers attempt to forbid the sharing of their resources.
Government said that firms providing lessons “cannot use copyright law to forbid schools from sharing materials” because of the “clear public interest in parents being aware of what their children are being taught”.
The sample letter, to be published tomorrow, will state contractual clauses preventing this are “void on the grounds they are unenforceable”.
Keegan, who will write to schools during half-term tomorrow, said her intervention should help “debunk the copyright myth”.
