Ofsted says SRE 'could be better'

26 Jul 2010

Ofsted found in more than a third (34 per cent) of the secondary schools visited, students' knowledge of sex and relationship was "no better than satisfactory", while in a further three schools it was rated "inadequate".

The report says: "Students' knowledge and understanding was often good about the biology of sex but weaker about relationships.  They said that their sex and relationships education was taught too late and there was not enough of it to be useful."
