Sex Education

Our policy is to encourage and promote stability within relationships at all times and against this background to present views held in society about different kinds of relationships. We provide information about all aspects of male and female sexual development and generate discussion of related matters. At all times, pupils are encouraged to respect and care for themselves and others. Lessons are taught to boys and girls together although there may be occasions when it is appropriate for separate sessions to be held. The School Nurse and the School Counsellor are available to advise pupils on a confidential basis as appropriate. Any pupil may be exempted from this part of the curriculum programme at his or her parents' request.
