DC's go to a Catholic primary. When DS1 attended, condoms, periods, ect were covered in Y5. I mentioned to the deputy head, that I didn't mind these subjects being taught, but I would like to know in advance, what was being covered. (Taking away the surprise presentation DS1 gave me in the supermarket on sanitary protection, and his "yeah, duh!" attitude when I decided to tell him about condoms when he was in Y6.
DC2 is now in Y5, and is generally more clued up about things than DS1. I asked him today if they had covered condoms yet at school, and he told me his teacher says they don't need to talk about condoms because they are a catholic school. (So someone must have mentioned them at some point!)
What can I expect my DC to be taught at school? I will be filling them in on what they don't know, or think they know from the playground. I will also be asking the school about their U-turn in the last 4 years on condom knowledge.
