At Goole Academy, Relationships and Sex Education helps students develop the knowledge, confidence and understanding they need to make safe, healthy and respectful choices.

Our RSE curriculum forms part of our wider Personal Development programme and supports students to understand themselves, build positive relationships, stay safe and prepare for adult life.

RSE is taught in an age-appropriate, inclusive and evidence-informed way, ensuring students receive accurate information and know where to access support when needed.

Our Approach

Everything we teach is underpinned by three principles:

Safe

Helping students recognise risk, stay safe and seek help when needed.

Respectful

Promoting kindness, dignity, consent and healthy relationships.

Prepared

Equipping students with the knowledge and confidence needed for adult life.
