RSE
The aims of relationships and sex education (RSE) in all Aspire Schools are to:
• Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place
• Prepare pupils for puberty, and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene
• Help pupils develop feelings of self-respect, confidence and empathy
• Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships
• Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies
The purpose of RSE education at St Stephen Churchtown Academy mirrors that of our trust. In an effort to proactively support pupils through emotional and physical changes, we teach the RSE curriculum in Spring 1 so that pupils are prepared for any changes.
Below, you will find an example letter to parents and example resources that will be used in each Key Stage.
