Year 9 pupils participated in a RSE 'drop down' day. Pupils watched a short film: "Love, Honour, Cherish", which explored themes linked to peer pressure, relationships, sexting and the impact of the media and then took part in a series of linked activities. 

Pupils watched a series of videos to aid and facilitate the discussions and were looking at reasons why it is important to place a very high value on the gift of sex.

The day consisted of three sessions, where pupils participated in the 'Cinema in Education' short films produced by TenTen resources, and looked at the Gift of Self and the Gift of Sex. 

In the final sessions, pupils completed a giftbox, using images only, to represent how we individually give the gift of ourselves to ourselves and others. 

Mr Khan, Assistant Curriculum Leader of RE, PSHCE and RSE commented;

"The pupils were highly engaged and worked exceptionally well throughout the day. They were mature and respectful. The high quality discussions and work pupils were produced was fantastic. The Year 9s have really set a high bar in approaching themes linked to Relationships and Sex Education."
