SRE in the National <strong>Healthy</strong> School Standard: CHSP Support for <strong>Schools</strong><br />
About your SRE programme:<br />
The programme is based on consultation with young people<br />
using the Are you Getting it Right? Toolkit SEF, 2008 – see our<br />
website for details<br />
The programme is a planned part of the school’s PSHE and<br />
Citizenship programme and Science Curriculum and is clearly<br />
timetabled.<br />
Collapsed curriculum days / weeks are only used to support a<br />
planned programme of timetabled PSHE – not to replace it<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The programme covers all key stages <br />
The programme is differentiated so that it is appropriate to pupils’ <br />
age, ability, gender and maturity<br />

feel confident to do so<br />
CPD / INSET on SRE has taken place in the last two years for all<br />
staff involved in teaching it<br />

are not the only input<br />
