Learning for Life
Our Vision
By the time they leave year 11, our pupils will be able to make informed decisions regarding their own health (including sexual health) and personal well-being whilst having regard for the wellbeing and rights of others.
The programme is designed to meet the needs of our students and fulfil the DfE Statutory Guidance for Relationships and Sex Education and Health Education. Our curriculum is based around enquiry questions and topics which feed into them. The curriculum is taught as a timetabled lesson once a week year 7 – 10, and an hour a fortnight for year 11.
