Hello!
I have just received an email from my children's primary school advising that Coram Life Education will be welcomed into the Year 5 class to discuss puberty and conception. The school uses Jigsaw for their PHSE lessons. I am wondering if anybody here is familiar with Coram Life Education and what their actual agenda is, if indeed there is one?! I must admit I cannot understand why a 'charity' needs to exist for this purpose and why the usual class teachers are unable to teach the children themselves about puberty/conception. I am quite skeptical about the whole thing but may well be ignorant and am happy to be enlightened if this is the case. I have done an advanced search here on mumsnet and via Google! But was hoping for more information than I could find. Your time and advice is appreciated. 🙏

They visit my dc's primary once a year & do all sorts of sessions on things like healthy eating, friendships etc depending on year group. Our school didnt use them for the y5&y6 puberty/conception tho, that was left with teachers, so cant comment on their stance.
