Criteria 3 - Sex and Relationships Educations

There needs to be evidence that the school supports the development of a whole school approach to sex education. One which supports and informs pupils and is developed inline with the latest national guidance and young people's need. These are the ways in which the school can show this:

By having a sex education policy that is reviewed on a regular basis. And is established by the schools governing body in consultation with staff, parents and pupils (where appropriate), and in line with national guidelines.

By having a programme of sex education suited to pupils' age and maturity, which help to develop their understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of sexual relationships; the ability to explore the reasons why young people choose to have sex and awareness of moral issues.

By supporting the development of staff and governor knowledge of legal requirements and pupils' entitlement.

By engaging in discussions with staff and governors concerning issues of staff levels of comfort with the content and teaching of SRE, consequently developing and implementing strategies that support these.

By ensuring that the visitor guidelines for the school support links with external agencies and support good practice and explore the requirements of the pupils entitlement, agencies agenda and programme content.
