Information Technology is taught through relevant and meaningful everyday experiences and is seen as an aid to communication. A variety of experiences including the use of technology in everyday life eg video, television, telephone, washing machine etc are provided to encourage the understanding of cause and effect in realistic situations. The consistency and predictability of the medium is particularly relevant to the needs of our pupils. Religious Education At Robert Ogden School we aim to achieve a positive, caring ethos throughout the school, this is reflected in the Religious Education taught, which is meaningful, realistic, age appropriate and sensitive to different cultures, religions and creeds. Religious Education has been developed to meet the needs of our pupils, to build on their experiences and to develop their spiritual, moral, cultural, cognitive and physical development.
All pupils have access to assemblies and collective worship.
Parents have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Education and collective worship. An alternative provision will be made in agreement with parents appropriate to their child's needs and understanding. PSHE is seen as a core subject within the Robert Ogden School Curriculum, beginning when a pupil first enters school and continuing throughout their school career. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from part or all of the sex education offered at Robert Ogden School except that which is required as part of National Curriculum Science. An explanation of the extent to which sex education forms a discrete element of the curriculum and the relevant programmes of study can be made available to parents on request.
