Relationships and Sex EducationTrinity follows Shropshire Council's Respect Yourself Relationship and Sex Education programme. This is a co-ordinated county wide approach for primary and secondary schools. The programme provides a comprehensive, spiral, cross phase scheme of work containing lesson plans, resources, assessment and teacher's guidance for year 1-11.
The school programme puts the R before the S. We refer to RSE (Relationship and Sex Education); we place the emphasis on relationships, supporting pupils' understanding and skill in developing positive and healthy relationships. Our definition is based on the Ofsted 2002 recommendations "A caring and developmental RSE programme needs to be more than just biology and the fundamentals of reproduction. Children and young people want reassurance about how their body image, behaviour, feelings, and relationships. They also need knowledge and skills appropriate to their levels of maturity and developmental need." The resources address the issues highlighted in the Supplementary Guidance to DfEE 'RSE for 21st century'. "RSE is "learning about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, relationship, sex, human sexuality and sexual health". We believe the Shropshire programme fulfils the criteria for a comprehensive programme as it "provides accurate information about the body, reproduction, sex and sexual health. It gives children and young people essential skills for building positive, enjoyable, respectful and non -exploitative relationships and staying safe both on and off line". |
