WOODINGDEAN PRIMARY SCHOOL Warren Road, Woodingdean, Brighton, BN2 6BB Headteacher: Mr J Whitfield Deputy Headteacher: Miss L Axton www.woodingdeanprimaryschool.co.uk admin@woodingdean.brighton-hove.sch.uk Telephone: 01273 680811 Fax: 01273 607359 26th June 2015 Dear Parent/guardian, As part of our personal, social and health education programme, from Tuesday 30th June, we will be covering sex education in Year 6. We watch three 20 minute videos from a recommended Channel 4 educational DVD sensitively aimed at 10 to 11 year olds. We then discuss the facts and issues that arise from the programmes. The children have the opportunity to ask questions but we also put out a question box where children are able to anonymously ask questions, which we feel is appropriate for their age group and the year 6 curriculum. We also hold a separate question and answer session; where the girls have the opportunity to discuss any issues with Miss Axton and the boys have the opportunity to do the same with Mr. Bull. If you wish your children to abstain from sessions please fill in the form below. On Monday 29th June you have the opportunity to view the materials in room 8 (Mr. Bull’s room) at 3:20pm, if you wish. If you have any further questions do pop in and ask. Thank you for your support, Miss Axton and Mr. Bull YOU ONLY NEED TO RETURN THIS FORM IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CHILD TO TAKE PART IN SEX EDUCATION LESSONS I would like my child……………………………………………………….to abstain from sex education sessions Signed………………………………………………….
