Relationships and Sex Education is taught formally to Year 5 and 6 pupils. We think this is a good time to cover this as part of a broader preparation for changes in life. Aspects of puberty and the birth of babies will only be covered in Year 6.

Our approach to Sex Education complies with L.E.A. guidelines. We treat children with respect and consequently work hard to promote an atmosphere where questions may be asked and responded to without fear of ridicule. Teachers are prepared to answer any serious questions put to them. Male and female teachers are available to the children for discussion. Parents who wish will be invited to view the contents of the videos used before their child sees them.

Parents wishing to withdraw their child from this part of the curriculum should write to the Headteacher.
