1) Key Stage 3

Parents and carers have the right to request that their children be exempted from attending assemblies of a religious nature and RE lessons on the grounds of religious belief. In addition, parents and carers also have a right to request the withdrawal of their child from aspects of Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) providing that they do not form part of the National Curriculum. Any comments or concerns relating to the implementation of the National Curriculum or the provision of Religious Education should be directed to the school in the first instance.

 All students are taught the compulsory elements of the National Curriculum for citizenship, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education. This provision is supported with dedicated assemblies as well as through Personal Development lessons, mentor time activities, collapsed curriculum events and cross-curricular approaches.
