We have based our school’s sex education policy on the DfE guidance document Relationship Education Guidance and Sex (ref DfE 0116/2000). Sex education is part of the personal, social and health education curriculum in our school.

Intent
At Hutton Henry CE Primary, we aim to provide a holistic education for all children, regardless of ethnicity, language, faith, gender or sexual orientation.
We aim to support children in their emotional, cultural and social, as well as academic development.
We believe that RSE, as part of our comprehensive PSHE curriculum, has a vital role to play in:
- Teaching about and modelling healthy relationships
- Challenging discrimination in all its forms
- Promoting the emotional health and well being of all pupils
- Fostering respect for self and others and therefore contributing to community cohesion
- Encouraging children to take responsibility for their personal safety
- Normalising the physical and emotional changes which occur at puberty
- Encouraging children to seek support if they are feeling unhappy
We aim to work in partnership with parents to encourage a culture of openness, and with other agencies to ensure that children receive accurate, factual and age appropriate information. We base our PSHE and RSE lessons on the Kapow scheme of learning. Please contact us if you would like further information about what this looks like at our school.
Further information regarding our PSHE and RSE curriculums can be found here.
Educate and Celebrate
We are a Rainbow School!
Since September 2015, we have been proud to call ourselves a ‘Rainbow School’ because we are actively promoting equality and social inclusion. We have embedded the ‘Educate and Celebrate’ programme into our curriculum. The programme provides positive relationships and understanding. It is based around a set of stories about different families, relationships and gender identities.
The approaches used in ‘Educate and Celebrate’ have been recognised by Ofsted as best practice for taking a whole school approach to teaching equality.
The document below is published by Ofsted and gives guidelines as to how a school will be assessed on their policy, prevention and tackling of homophobic and transphobic issues.
