RSE

The aims of relationships and sex education (RSE) at our school are to:

Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place
Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships
Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies

The RSE curriculum will be delivered through the Jigsaw (PSHE) scheme of work:
