Many pupils with learning difficulties find it very hard to pick up understanding of personal and social rules and customs incidently as they grow up. Therefore they need to be taught these things clearly and directly- to an even greater extent than pupils in mainstream schools. Pupils learn about people are different and have different families, different communities, how people can help one another, what does it mean to grow up and how to stay healthy.
All pupils must be offered Sex and Relationship Education appropriate to their needs and school works closely with parents to ensure that our curriculum- that starts with "what is personal" and who are "boys", "girls" and babies- is right for each pupil. Above all we teach pupils the correct way of interacting with other people by demonstrating respect for them at all times.
