Dear Bruntcliffe Academy, Leeds,

I am conducting research under the Freedom of Information Act. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

The terms involved in this topic can often become muddled. For the purposes of this FOI I am using the following definitions:
Sex = biological or natal sex
Gender = the way in which a person chooses to present or identify. This may differ from their sex.

1. In the last five years, has your school invited any third party, charity or lobby group into the school to teach the PSHE and RSE curriculum (this includes online resources)? If yes, please list these organisations and the pupil year groups involved.
2. In relation to the teaching of PSHE or RSE does the school website include links to any third party, charity or lobby group? If so, please list these organisations.
3. Does your school allow parents to view RSE teaching materials, whether produced in-house or provided by an external agency?

I would be grateful if you would send me copies of any materials that you currently use for teaching students about sex and gender. Examples might include worksheets, lesson plans, leaflets, PowerPoint presentations, etc.

Yours faithfully,

Frances Moody

Dear Bruntcliffe Academy, Leeds,

I made a request to you on 7th September 2023 under the Freedom of Information Act, asking about the use of outside agencies to teach or discuss issues about gender and sex to pupils. By law, I should normally have had a response from you within term-time by 5th October 2023.

I am now following this up with a further request for your earliest response to my enquiry.

Yours faithfully,

Frances Moody

Dear Info Bruntcliffe,
