Aspects of sex education are taught from Year 7 onwards as part of the Science and Personal Development programmes.

Students are encouraged to have a regard for moral considerations and the value of family life. Material is presented in a non-threatening way. Students are not asked questions of a personal and private nature. Discussion of moral issues, however, is encouraged. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from the sex education programme and should do so in writing via email to Mrs Parker, Assistant Head (curriculum).

Parents have the right to withdraw their child from the Religious Studies, Ethics and Philosophy programmes and should do so in writing via eamail to Mrs Parker, Assistant Head (curriculum).

Assemblies are non-denominational in character and it is hoped that parents will not withdraw their children on religious grounds. If parents wish to do so they must contact the Headteacher.
