Dear Holly,

In response to your request, please find attached our school's updated SRE policy. Highlighted in yellow are the points that have been updated in response to change in the government's guidance and the new curriculum. We work closely with the local authority to ensure that the SRE lessons delivered to the children follows their guidance.

In relation to your first question, please find the numbers of children currently on our roll:
a. The school does not hold information about children's religion as most parents do not provide us with that information. Therefore any information would be incomplete.
b. White British: 59, White Other: 42, Bengoli: 83, Other Asian: 32, Somali: 64, Other Black: 31, Mixed Other: 18, Any other: 26
c. English: 96, Arabic:22, Bengoli:83, Somali:64, Other:90
d. Male: 195, Female: 160

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Marianne Pringot
admin officer
