Sex Education is integrated into several areas of the curriculum throughout years 7 to 11, principally through Science, Religious Education and the PSE Programme.

Our approach aims to integrate the elements of Sex Education into the whole curriculum and incorporates work on human body processes, disease, self-awareness, inter-relationships and the religious and moral basis of personal behaviour. Our purpose is to encourage right and respectful relationships between individuals who are aware of their own development and responsibilities.

Parents have a statutory right to withdraw their children from those elements of the Sex Education programme that are not part of National Curriculum Science. Any such requests should initially be in the form of a letter to the Headteacher.

Copies of the School's full Sex Education Policy approved by the Governors in line with recent legislation are available from the school office.
