Dear Parents / Carers,

During this next half term children will be taught the relevant knowledge from our RSE Curriculum appropriate for their year group.

Attached here for you to read is a joint letter from Mrs Moody and Mrs Pierce (Newport Infant School). Our approach to RSE is a common approach across both schools and the knowledge we teach the children builds upon prior knowledge.

There is also a presentation for you to read about the content of our RSE Curriculum, a sample of worksheets the children will use in each year group and a bank of appropriate vocabulary the children will meet in their lessons. We use a resource which has been used widely across many schools in Shropshire called ‘Respect Yourself.’

There is the right to withdraw your child from some elements of RSE (but not from the science curriculum). The form to complete,  should you wish to do so,  is also included here. If you wish to discuss matters then please approach the class teacher or myself to ask any further questions you might have and we can hopefully answer them for you.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

‘The best Monday ever!’ Commented the staff and children after our visit from an RAF helicopter this morning!  We’ve had a super day!

This visit followed on from a talk from an RAF pilot as part of our Raising Aspirations work earlier this year.  Children today saw the helicopter land, had the opportunity to sit on the helicopter and ask questions, interviewed an air traffic control officer and had a tour of the outside of the helicopter with a pilot!  The crew were amazing; they really engaged the children and the children were so excited to learn from them.

We are extremely grateful to the crew who visited us today, thank you for making memories for our NJS children.
