Curriculum Policy

Engagement of parents is vital for students personal development.

At HWGA we believe it is important to create and maintain an open dialogue between parents and teachers about PSHE/RSE.

As the DfE statutory guidance states: ‘Parents should be given every opportunity to understand the purpose and content of Relationships Education and RSE. Good communication and opportunities for parents to understand and ask questions about the school’s approach help increase confidence in the curriculum.’

HWGA offer parents:

  • PSHE/RSE policy consultation drop ins.
  • Parent evening drop ins or appointments – Ms Robin (appointments available on request).
  • Open evening drop ins – Ms Robin (potential year 6 students).
  • Publishing of the PSHE/RSE documentation education curriculum on the school website.
  • Opportunities to email mmorgan@hwga.org.uk or msahonta@hwga.org.uk with any questions or comments.
