Special Needs
We recognise
that all children at St. Giles' are special, that each child has a potential and it is our
aim to encourage that child to reach that level whatever it is. Where a child has a
particular need outside support is sought and agencies come into school to help. At all
times parents and the child are involved in every decision.
Because of recent legislation concerning children with learning
problems, a detailed policy has been drawn up by Governors. This is available in school
for all to inspect at any reasonable time. It reflects all we do at St. Giles' for all
children whatever their ability, weaknesses or strengths.
Family Life and Sex Education
St. Giles' is a Roman Catholic school and the
moral aspects of family life and sex education are taught in accordance with the precepts
of the Roman Catholic Church.
As the child moves through the school, the sex education is geared
to their stage of development, not simply concerning itself with basic facts, but allowing
the children to develop a growing awareness of themselves, their place in society, their
relationship with others. As they grow in maturity the wider will be the range of sex
issues brought to their attention. Parents are always kept informed of this process and if
anything of a specific sexual nature is to be discussed, either in class or by outside
agencies, the parents have the right to withdraw the child if so desired. |
