Relationships and Sex Education

Sex Education is delivered through Biology lessons in Remove and revisited on the GCSE Biology course. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) has now become a legal obligation for schools, for all pupils receiving secondary education, subject to a limited parental right to withdraw pupils from the Sex Education components up to three terms before the child turns 16. These lessons provide an understanding that a supportive, caring environment is essential for the development of stable, healthy relationships and that individuals are in charge
