HAWLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL POLICY FOR SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS EDUCATION Some key points from our policy: Our aim in providing Sex and Relationships Education is to:  Provide balanced factual information about human reproduction, together with consideration of the broader emotional, ethical, religious, and moral dimensions of sexual health. Our SRE programme aims to prepare pupils for an adult life in which they can:  Develop positive values and a moral framework that will guide their decisions, judgements and behaviour;  Have the confidence and self esteem to value themselves and others and respect for individual conscience and the skills to judge what kind of relationship they want.
