Sex education to cut pregnancies
A new library dedicated to help teachers plan sex and relationship lessons is being launched at Slough and Eton School in Berkshire.

The resources, including books, videos and games, are for teachers leading classes on personal health, social and citizenship education (PHSCE).

A borough council spokesman said Slough had one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the South East.

"By improving education we can teach young people to make informed choices."

David Munkley, commissioner for education, said: "This library will be a fantastic resource for both teachers and school nurses and will play a key role in improving sex and relationship education in Slough."
