The end of another school year…
As we draw to the end of another school year, at acet UK we are reflecting on the sessions we have delivered, the young people we have worked with, and the amazing schools that have partnered with over the past year.
This year, across our London and Chester teams, we have delivered RSE sessions to over 7,460 young people in 26 schools. Thank you to all the schools who continue to partner with us to deliver a curriculum of comprehensive, engaging and interactive lessons to young people across England. As we meet young people at regular intervals across their school career, it is rewarding to see them grow in confidence and knowledge around RSE topics and feel comfortable asking our RSE educators questions that they may not feel confident asking in other contexts.
This year, we have been piloting a curriculum of lessons for primary schools. It has been rewarding to offer foundational, age-appropriate lessons to primary school aged children around body boundaries, respectful relationships, self-esteem and staying safe online to start and seeing the young people engage, learn and be curious! We are excited to take all our learnings from our pilot lessons this year and continue to expand our primary school offering next year.
If you are interested in accessing primary school lessons, contact our primary schools lead Rachel on rachel@acet-uk.com.
Our secondary schools work has also continued to expand with schools taking up our full curriculum of lessons across their year groups. Our secondary schools’ lessons start in Year 7 covering topics such as puberty and self-esteem and, as students progress through secondary school, we cover topics on sexual health, consent, staying safe online and relationship ethics as age appropriate.
Our aim at acet UK is to ensure that young people have a comprehensive and compassion led programme of RSE lessons across their school career, to help equip them for adulthood and empower them to critically consider the world around them and make healthy choices. We look forward to continuing this next year, as we deliver sessions to young people and train other educators to have these conversations.
