Is there a template letter outlining the sex education content in Life to the Full?

Overview

There is not a specific template letter that focuses solely on the sex education elements of Life to the Full. However, there are a range of parent consultation resources available that can be adapted to support clear communication with families.

Is there a letter specifically for sex education content?

At present, we do not provide a standalone template letter dedicated only to the sex education aspects of the programme.

Instead:

  • Sex education content is identified within the programme as Key Decision areas
  • These areas are clearly signposted so schools can make informed choices and communicate appropriately with parents

What are Key Decision areas?

Key Decisions are:

  • Areas of content that sit outside the statutory RHE curriculum
  • Included because schools may feel they are important for pupils’ understanding and safeguarding

These include topics such as:

  • Talking about sex
  • Talking about pornography
  • FGM
  • Protected characteristics

Full guidance on these areas can be found in the Programme Coordinator Manual:
https://www.tentenresources.co.uk/programmes/life-to-the-full-plus/page/lttf-p-manual

What resources can schools use to communicate with parents?

We provide a number of adaptable resources to support parent consultation:

1. Parent Consultation Tool

Available on the website, this includes:

  • Draft letters
  • Communication templates
  • A Parent Information Booklet

These can be adapted to reflect your school’s approach and highlight specific content where needed.

2. Online Parent Portal

The Parent Portal allows parents to:

  • View programme content directly
  • Watch lesson videos in full
  • Understand how topics are taught in an age-appropriate way

It also includes:

  • Conversation starters to support discussions at home

3. Engaging Parents guidance

Additional guidance is available on:

  • How to communicate effectively with parents
  • Approaches to consultation
  • Supporting understanding of sensitive topics

Can parents view the full programme?

Yes—in some cases.

Where helpful, schools can request temporary access (typically 3 weeks) for a parent to view the full programme.

This can:

  • Provide reassurance
  • Support transparency
  • Help address specific concerns

Recommended approach

Rather than using a separate letter focused only on sex education, we suggest:

  • Using the Parent Consultation Tool as a foundation
  • Highlighting relevant Key Decision areas where appropriate
  • Directing parents to the Parent Portal to see content in full

This helps ensure communication is:

  • Clear and accurate
  • Contextualised within the full programme
  • Supportive and reassuring

Summary

  • There is no standalone template letter for sex education content
  • Key Decision areas highlight non-statutory content clearly
  • Schools can use and adapt parent consultation templates
  • The Parent Portal is a key tool for transparency and engagement
