RSE - Relationships and Sex Education.

A programme of sex education for Year 6 children takes place in the Summer Term. The class teachers, in co-operation with the school nurse, focus on a programme of work over a number of weeks. In these sessions children consider aspects of personal hygiene, the physical and emotional changes in puberty, human reproduction and media representation of sex and relationships.

Parents may withdraw their children from Sex Education sessions if they so wish, by arrangement with the Principal.  The Sex Education lessons take place in Year 5 and 6.  Parents will be informed this will be taking place and will have the opportunity to ask questions.
 

Relationship and Sex Education Across the Academy-

RSE Consultation

As you may be aware, The Department for Education has announced changes to Relationships and Sex Education (RSE). This means, that alongside everything else, we have been in the process of reviewing our RSE curriculum and policy so we can be sure our provision meets the Government criteria.

If you have any comments or questions for our review, please send via the school office at, admin@newarkhillacademy.org or rfarooq@newarkhillacademy.org

The consultation period was in September 2020 and we had this available on our weekly sways. Please see this link- https://sway.office.com/OTi5ZSRvuTRrsEVE?loc=swsp

The Relationship policy has now been approved. Classes will be delivering the new curriculum from January 2021.

If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to get in touch with us.
