decisions about their futures. It also aims to prepare girls to face future challenges with
confidence, flexibility and sensitivity. PSHCE includes Sex and Relationships education
as well as supporting girls in their personal and social development, generally enabling
them to empathise with others and to build positive relationships.

a cross-curricular theme in all sections of the school.

Appendix 1 – Sex and Relationship Education
1.
Introduction
1.1
Sex and relationship education is a major component of the School's programme of
Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education (PSHCE). It is one of the specific
themes which make up the National Healthy School Standard. Knowledge and
understanding is necessary for informed opinions and decisions to be made. It is vital that
pupils receive effective sex and relationship education before they become sexually active
or put themselves at risk. It is crucial to correct prejudice and misinformation, which may
affect relationships both now and in the future.
1.2.
Sex and relationship education has a crucial role to play in preparing the girls for their lives
now and as adults and parents. In this area of the curriculum, learning information about
the physical aspects of sex is complemented by learning about family life and the exercise
of personal responsibility toward other individuals and the broader community. In addition
pupils will be encouraged to have regard to moral considerations and to appreciate the
value of a stable family life, self-restraint, dignity, respect and responsible sexual
behaviour.
2.
Educational objectives
2.1
The School aims to provide a broad and balanced sex and relationship education
programme which offers full entitlement and access for all pupils and which operates in an
atmosphere of mutual trust and respect. It has three main objectives:
2.1.1
In the EYFS the personal, social and emotional development outcomes focus on
children learning how to work, play, co-operate with others and function in a group
beyond the family. They cover important aspects of personal, social, moral and
spiritual development including the development of personal values and an
understanding of themselves and others.
2.1.2
to allow the exploration of moral and sexual issues and values to:
2.1.3
a)
Endow pupils with positive attitudes, patterns of behaviour, lifestyles,
values and decision-making skills with respect to sexuality and personal
relationships;
b)
Foster self-esteem, self-awareness and a sense of moral responsibility.
To give knowledge and understanding in order for pupils to make informed choices
concerning:
.
Page 7 of 15
a)
The physical, emotional and social aspects of an individual's development
as a male or female, personal relationships, responsible attitudes and
appropriate behaviour;
b)
Family life - the value and importance of the family as a social institution
and its contribution to the development of attachment, love and concern in
caring for others.
Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education Policy
St Helen’s School
2.1.4
To clarify the link between sexual practices and the transmission of STIs, including
HIV/AIDS.
2.1.5
To raise awareness of forced marriage and FGM.
3.
Programme Delivery
3.1
Sex and relationship education is taught through the PSHCE and Science Schemes of
Work and also through Circle Time in Junior School and LSH. The nature of the work
undertaken is appropriate to the age and maturity of the pupils. As pupils mature and
develop at different rates, the programme is a 'spiral system' in that key concepts are
revisited several times. This enables the teacher to reinforce the knowledge at appropriate
stages of pupil development.
There are specifically three elements:
a)
Attitudes and values which encourage the pupils to learn the importance of
values, individual conscience and moral considerations, the value of family life,
respect, love and care and how they affect behaviour. They can then develop a
personal moral framework that is congruent with their culture, race, sexuality,
faith and ability.
b)
Knowledge and understanding which is age-appropriate on emotions, how the
body works, sexuality, sexual reproduction, STI including HIV and AIDS,
contraception and all aspects of sexual health.
c)
Personal and Social Skills which allow informed choices and decisions about
relationships and sexuality, appreciate the consequences of choice, manage
conflict and emotions confidently and sensitively.
3.2
The biological aspects of human sexual behaviour in the science curriculum.
3.3
The themes of parenting, relationships and the ethical and moral considerations of sex
and relationship education are covered in the PSHCE or RS courses. The PHSCE course
also deals with:
a)
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Human Immunodeficiency
Virus (HIV);
b)
Other sexually transmitted infections (STIs);
c)
Aspects of human sexual behaviour, other than biological aspects.

3.4
Prohibition of Political Indoctrination
The school actively promotes the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of
law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and
beliefs. It does this by age appropriate information for pupils and by facilitating discussions
of ideas. The school believes it is important that pupils are presented with a range of
views and are given opportunities to explain key social and moral issues in school.
Teachers are expected to respect the rights of others and to respect those with different
beliefs.
3.5
E- Safety
The school places significant emphasis on e-safety.
 The Acceptable Use Policy is shared with all pupils at the start of each academic year.
 The Staff Code of Conduct makes clear teachers’ obligations with regards to
monitoring use of the internet
 Breaches of the Acceptable Use Policy by pupils are dealt with in accordance with the
school’s Behaviour Policy.
 Staff are given regular training in the delivery of e-safety education by colleagues who
have had appropriate training from recognised providers.
