RSE

Intent and Aims

The aims of relationships and sex education (RSE) at our school are to:
Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place

  • Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
  • Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
  • Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships
  • Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies

 

Delivery of RSE


RSE is taught within the personal, social, health and education (PSHE) curriculum. Biological aspects of RSE are taught within the science curriculum, and other aspects are included in religious education (RE).
Pupils also receive stand-alone sex education sessions delivered by a trained health professional.
Across all Key Stages, pupils will be supported with developing the following skills:


• Communication, including how to manage changing relationships and emotions
• Recognising and assessing potential risks
• Assertiveness
• Seeking help and support when required
• Informed decision-making
• Self-respect and empathy for others
• Recognising and maximising a healthy lifestyle
• Managing conflict
• Discussion and group work

Relationships and Sex Education

Parent Consultation 2024

 

We invite parents to review the RSE policy and documents on an annual basis. This includes reviewing the progression and subject overview documents held within the PSHE web page. The letter and documents below are available for parents to review with a Microsoft Form for consultation responses held within the consultation letter attached. The consultation information was sent out by letter and has been signposted within the school newsletter. 

 

The consultation will close on September 27th 2024

 

Following this process last year, the policy was revised in light of parental feedback. Once this consultation period has closed, we will again revise the policy where appropriate.
