The Curriculum

We actively seek the views of our pupils. Children discuss ideas and issues in Class Councils, which feed through into School Council whose members the children elect. Among other things, our school councillors are involved in supporting charities, meeting with governor working parties to give their views on a range of aspects of school life and thinking about ways to make our school even better.

RSE (Relationship and Sex Education)

The school follows the advice laid down in the Surrey Curriculum Guidelines and as such, children do not receive any specific Sex Education lessons except in Year 2, for one session, which parents are consulted about in advance. Topics such as friendship, caring, animal/plant growth, family relationships, and other issues related to Sex Education are interwoven into part of the normal curriculum programme of the school. If parents feel that an element of curriculum provision contains specific Sex Education they have the right to withdraw their child.

If any questions from children arise, they are dealt with on an individual basis and answered simply and with sensitivity, paying due attention to the child’s maturity. Parents are informed of any questions raised or discussions which might need following up at home.
