RSHE Programme of Study
Parents have the right to withdraw their children from the non-statutory/non-science components of sex education within RSE up to and until 3 terms before the child turns 16. After this point, if the child wishes to receive sex education rather than being withdrawn, the school will arrange this.
Requests for withdrawal should be put in writing using the form found in Appendix 2 of this policy and addressed to the headteacher. A copy of withdrawal requests will be placed in the student’s educational record. The headteacher will discuss the request with parents and take appropriate action.
Alternative work will be given to students who are withdrawn from sex education.
