Sex Education forms an integral part of the Health Education Programme, in which
children are taught about reproduction and growing up. Sex education is incorporated
into social and human relationship discussions with a heavy emphasis on the importance of
family life. Support in the form of information and resources, together with elements of
teaching, is given by the School Health Adviser, who is well known to all the children. A
copy of the school's health education policy is available in school.

The school nurse, who is well known to the children, supports the school in its Health
Education teaching. She provides resources and some elements of teaching to children in
Years 5 and 6. Parents will be informed as to when the school nurse is involved with these
children, when you will be offered the opportunity to view the resources. Parents can
withdraw their children from these elements of sex education but not those taught as part
of the National Curriculum Science lessons.

o regular reports from independent inspectors;
o performance tables for all local schools;
o a prospectus or brochure about the school

Information About Your Child's Progress Open evenings are held once in the Autumn and
Spring terms.

Early in the Autumn Term there is an opportunity for parents to meet the child's teacher
and exchange information.

In the Spring Term teachers meet parents and children to review progress made so far.

Just before the Summer Term Open Evening, an annual written report will be sent home.
