Citizenship

In addition to legal requirements of the National Curriculum, we believe that there are other important issues, which form part of the educational development of each child. As part of the curriculum the children will be informed about and discuss a variety of personal and social issues. In addition to planned lessons and assemblies, teachers use Circle Time, R Time partner activities that build self-esteem and the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning Project.

We actively encourage healthy choices. As part of the National Fruit Scheme, children in KS1 receive a piece of fruit each day. Children are encouraged to bring healthy tuck of fruit or vegetables each day and they are allowed to drink pure water throughout the day from bottles brought in from home.   A healthy packed lunch

Sex Education
Sex Education should be an integral part of the learning process, beginning in childhood and continuing into adult life. It encourages the exploration of values and moral issues through the development of communication and decision making skills. It should also foster self-esteem, self-awareness and a sense of moral responsibility.

Sex education is taught through subjects such as Science and Personal, Social and Health Education and does not form a separate course of study. Every attempt is made to ensure that any sex education included in the curriculum is appropriate to the age and needs of the children.

The Governors monitor the Sex Education Policy and would have to approve any new materials produced.
