Music Development

For a summary of how our school delivers music education to all our pupils across three areas – curriculum music, co-curricular provision and musical experiences – and what changes we are planning in future years, please see our Music Development Plan 25-26. This information is to help pupils and parents or carers understand what our school offers and who we work with to support our pupils’ music education.

Religious Education

At Bents Green School, all pupils are encouraged to learn about the beliefs of others, in addition to their own, as part of the religious education national curriculum. Parents/carers have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of the religious education curriculum and are not required to provide a reason for doing so. 

Relationships and Sex Education (RSE)

At Bents Green School, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) plays a vital role in nurturing our students’ well-being, independence, and social understanding. Rooted in our core values of kindness, respect, unconditional positive regard, and celebrating individualism, our PHSE/RSE curriculum is designed to empower every student with autism and communication needs at Bents Green School to develop meaningful relationships, positive self-identity, and essential life skills through health education. This curriculum supports our vision to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where every student feels valued and can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.

More information on our RSE curriculum can be found within our RSE Policy. Each year parents/carers will be consulted on any changes to the RSE curriculum/policy, through an annual online consultation. Parents/carers have the right to request that their child is excused from all or part of the RSE curriculum. Any requests must be made in writing to the school’s Head of Curriculum.
