Personal, Social and Health Education
Curriculum Intent
Our delivery of a Sex Education programme is set in the whole school context of a Health Education Programme, which is planned through Personal, Social and Health Education, Physical Education, Science and Religious Education.
The school will endeavour to ensure that it is presented in such a manner as to encourage children to have due regard to moral considerations and family life.
Throughout their time in school our children are taught using video material ‘Living and Growing’ (as recommended by Devon Curriculum Services) together with supporting topic work. Parents are welcome to view this material at any time.
Parents have the right to withdraw their children from all or part of any sex education provided (but not from teaching of the biological aspects of human growth and reproduction necessary under National Curriculum Science).
