Health & Relationships Education
Health & Relationships Policy (including sex and relationships)
Relationships and Health Education are compulsory for all pupils in primary schools.
In ONE Academy Trust (formerly Willows Academy Trust & Believe Academy Trust), Relationships Education and Health Education are taught as part of the wider Personal, Social, Health & Economic (PSHE) curriculum which supports the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of our pupils and helps prepare them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.
Our PSHE curriculum in each school reflects our Trust ethos that EveryONE Matters, underpinned by the ethos, aims and values of each school. As part of this holistic approach, elements of sex education are also taught as part of the wider curriculum in our primary schools, as set out in each school's curriculum and scheme of work.
Each of our schools is responsible for developing its own scheme of work and curriculum content within the overarching Relationships and Health Education Policy, which sets out our approach.
We are reviewing our overarching policy as part of our merger.
If you have any comments on the Relationships and Health Education Policy operating in any of our schools, you are also welcome to contact us at any time. We value your thoughts and we look forward to hearing your views and opinions.
If you have concerns about content, or wish to exercise your right to withdraw your child from specific aspects of sex education content, please speak to your child’s teacher or the headteacher.
