The Lower School began their focus on relationships and sex education this week as part of their life education in school.
All pupils in the lower school had a presentation by Laura from ItHappens. Year 6 focused on relationships and consent, Year 7 the adolescent body and puberty, Year 8 looked at digital relationships and considered the unrealistic expectations created online, sharing of nudes, consent and the law.
Pupils were asked to bookmark the Childline page on Puberty as an additional resource in case they have questions. Please speak to your child about the session and contact your form tutor or rachel.chetwood@emanuel.org.uk if you have any questions.
There are also some excellent resources in the Wellbeing hub. If you missed the consultation webinar on Thursday, here is an introduction to RSE by the founder of ItHappens.
