Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)
Before relationships and sex education lessons, parents will be contacted by letter. The letter will outline the main topics being taught and will invite parents to contact the school if they wish to discuss any aspect of this area of the curriculum. A range of teaching resources are used, supported by discussion and question and answer sessions.
In addition to their PSHE lessons, pupils in key stage 3 have additional lessons in careers. These lessons prepare pupils for the World of Work, choosing their option subjects for high school and give them opportunities to develop their entrepreneurial skills.
