Bodies

All of our sessions about bodies are planned to complement your existing biology and PSHE lessons.
We offer honest and frank conversations on anatomy, correct terminology, bodies & bodily fluids. And as students move up the school, we can visit them again and again to develop more nuanced conversations around sexual health, sexual wellbeing/pleasure, pregnancy choices & fertility.

There is a strong focus on empowerment and the emotional/psychological elements of becoming sexually active. The consequences and risks of sex are discussed, and all sexualities should feel included in this work. We are reluctant to deliver these talks without our work on RELATIONSHIPS too.

Our work fully supports your safeguarding policy and provision.
