Sex and Relationships Education 7-9: The no nonsense guide to sex education for all primary teachers

Sex and relationship education (SRE) is an extremely valuable part of the curriculum but there still remains a degree of uncertainty about what, how and when to cover different topics. This no-nonsense guide provides comprehensive advice and support for any primary school looking to develop an effective SRE programme and policy and to feel confident delivering it.

In line with the updated Rose Review, which emphasizes the importance of learning about physical development, health and wellbeing, this book provides:

• Clear and up-to-date guidance on what is deemed good practice and what is statutory - A simple to use, ‘cut and paste’ framework for SRE policy development - INSET activities that can be used with staff, governors and/or parents - Lesson plans and photocopiable activity sheets - A variety of useful documents such as information sheets for parents/carers to help them understand the benefits of effective SRE, consultation forms, an example of a pre-programme letter for parents/carers

Topics covered include: the physical and emotional changes that take place in the human body as puberty is reached, human reproduction, developing a good self-image, dealing with negative pressures and challenging sexual stereotypes.
