The school informs parents when aspects of the Relationship and Sex programme are taught and provides opportunities for parents to view the videos and resources being used. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from Sex Education but not Statutory RSE. However, this rarely happens, by working in partnership with parents they recognise the importance of this aspect of their child’s education. Learners who are withdrawn from Sex Education should receive purposeful education for the period of withdrawal. If a request for withdrawal is received, the Head Teacher should discuss this with the parent to ensure that their wishes are understood and to clarify the curriculum and address any concerns and address any misconceptions. Once these discussions have taken place the school should respect the parents request to excuse their child. Schools should keep records of withdrawal requests and discussions with parents.

Please feel free to read the RSE policy and look at the content and language covered at our School and materials we use when teaching pupils.
