JCoSS in the vanguard of relationships and sex education

JCoSS is one of the first schools in the country to implement the government’s new relationships and sex education policy.

The cross-communal secondary school in East Barnet has been recognised by the Department for Education as one of the “early adopters” of the RSE curriculum, which does not come into force nationally until the autumn.

A JCoSS spokesman said it had been redeveloping personal, social and health education over the past couple of years “coincidentally at the same time as the government has started to introduce statutory RSE”.

The programme’s name, Kvutzah, refers to the importance of community-building.
