RSE training for school staff

It depends on what you need. A twilight session is 90 minutes after school and works well for an introduction or a single high-pressure topic. A half day, three hours in a morning or afternoon, is the most common booking, with enough time to cover the framework, work through scenarios, and answer the questions staff actually have. A full day runs 5.5 hours including breaks. Full-day or multi-session programmes are for departments going deeper, or schools rolling out a curriculum revision.

PSHE leads, form tutors, and the wider team being asked to deliver RSE. We work with whole secondary departments, mixed-role groups, and senior leadership separately when the conversation is about strategy rather than delivery. The work is most useful when the people in the room are the ones who'll be teaching it.

Yes. They're covered with the same framework as every other topic: what to say when a pupil asks about them, how to pitch them for the year group, and what to do when a discussion moves somewhere unexpected.

Yes. A lot of the staff we work with have inherited RSE rather than chosen it. The training is paced for that. We don't assume prior subject knowledge and we don't make it a problem if someone is starting from scratch.

It's led by someone who teaches the same content directly to students, in dozens of schools every term, so the examples and scripts have been tested with pupils. The training gives particular time to what to do when a lesson goes off-plan.

Yes. Every session is adapted to the year groups your staff teach, your curriculum and the parts you most want covered. If none of the sessions fits, bespoke training is built around your school.

Yes. Primary RSE has its own demands: correct terminology for body parts, personal safety, and the foundations of consent and respectful relationships, all pitched for younger children. A primary team is trained around those topics and the questions younger pupils really ask, rather than a secondary session handed down. Where a school runs both phases, staff can train together on the shared core and split for the parts that differ.

Yes. We teach RSE directly to young people with a wide range of needs, and we've trained staff, written policy and run workshops in special schools and alternative provision, including settings for pupils with SEMH needs. Training for those teams builds in individualised, trauma-informed approaches and resources, planned around the pupils your staff teach.

Ofsted looks at whether RSE is planned and sequenced, taught by staff who are confident with the material, and underpinned by safeguarding. The day is built around those things: a framework you can point to, disclosure handling aligned with KCSIE, and content mapped to the 2026 statutory guidance. Staff leave able to show how the school meets the standard, not just say that it does.

A shared framework the whole team can use, and concrete scripts for the hardest moments, including disclosures, off-topic questions and parent conversations. Everything used in the session is theirs to keep using in school, and each member of staff receives a certificate of completion. If it would help, we can also talk about subscription access to our growing library of lesson plans and resources.

A twilight session starts at £450, a half day at £650 and a full day at £950. Travel is charged at cost, which is usually a train fare, and booking further ahead keeps that fare down. Multi-session programmes are quoted once we know what you need. Prices depend on tailoring and group size, and are charged per session rather than per member of staff.

Anything from two weeks to a term ahead. We hold a small number of urgent slots each half-term for schools who need training before a planned delivery. If you already have a date in mind, the earlier you get in touch the better.
