The personal and social development of children in the school is supported and enhanced by a planned and progressive programme.
PSHE is taught weekly at a level appropriate to the child's age, maturity and understanding. The school uses the PSHE Association Programme of study.
The school has a clear policy on Relationship Education. The school scheme of work enables the children to gain an understanding of the working of their bodies, including human reproduction using correct vocabulary. This is a gently progressive curriculum as the children move through the school, meeting the requirements of the National Curriculum.
Sex and Relationship education is always presented in the context of family life, of loving relationships and respect for one another. Children are able to ask questions which teachers answer in a manner appropriate to the age and maturity of the children.
Parents are given the opportunity to view the teaching resources prior to the lessons and to meet with the class teacher if required.
