If you have a responsibility for coordinating sex & relationships education in your school, you might wish to consider participating on the 2005-06 DfES PSHE & C/SRE programme.
This is a nationally recognised programme that gives teachers from primary, secondary and special schools the opportunity to gain accreditation for excellence in the subject of PSHE & C/SRE.
We are currently looking to recruit interested teachers who wish to develop their knowledge and understanding of this subject, to work alongside colleagues from other schools and health professionals.
There are considerable benefits for teachers that take up a place on this course including;

completion of the SRE programme
* Development of strategies to support the implementation of SRE
in schools
* Sharing of good practice with colleagues
* Provision of support materials that will assist in developing
teacher knowledge and understanding of subject
* The opportunity to develop a scheme of work for sex &
relationships education that will bring many benefits to the
school, pupils and teachers respectively.

Healthy Eating Guidelines
It is important that schools develop a policy about how the principles of a balanced and varied diet are supported in the school. The policy will underpin the development of a consistent approach to food and nutrition, in relation to both food provision and the planned programme (curriculum). The policy must be shared with parents and pupils.
