Sex Education

RELATIONSHIP & GROWING UP EDUCATION

Relationship and growing up education at Mount Pleasant follows the guidelines issued by the National Assembly for Wales and Newport Education Authority.  The programme covers the physiological aspects of sexual development and should  address the issues of gender in a personal, social and societal level.

The school's programme of sex education is agreed by the governing body and is available for parents to see upon request.  It is linked to areas of the National Curriculum and reflects the needs of the pupils as they develop throughout KS2.  Parents are welcome to view the policy and discuss it.  Parents have the right to withdraw their children, should they so wish, from sex education.
