School of Sexuality Education

What School of Sexuality Education does

School of Sexuality Education Ltd is a UK registered charity (charity number 1193392; company number 10625640), founded in 2015 and headquartered in London, that delivers evidence-based relationships, sex and health education (RSE/RSHE) programmes. Its core offering is in-person workshop delivery in UK secondary and primary schools, covering consent, reproductive and sexual health, body image, relationships and porn literacy, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of qualified teachers, doctors, academics, youth workers and sexual violence prevention specialists. Adjacent product lines include university programmes, youth group sessions, CPD/teacher training and consultancy, workplace training (harassment, boundaries, allyship), and a published trade book with Walker Books (launched September 2021). Underlying "technology" is the curriculum and facilitation methodology itself — a trauma-informed, rights-based, iteratively refined RSE framework whose IP has been legally tested and protected through a First Tier Tribunal ruling in 2023, upheld by the Upper Tribunal in September 2025.

The business model blends professional services revenue (quote-based workshop and training fees from schools, universities and workplaces, typically on multi-year contracts) with diversified non-commercial and ancillary streams: PayPal donations, crowdfunding campaigns (including a "Send Our Book To Schools" push targeting 1,000 UK secondary schools), grant funding (National Lottery and other institutional funders), Teemill-powered sustainable merchandise sales, and book royalties. Distribution is direct, field-based and domestic (UK-only), augmented by an active Instagram presence (@school_sexed), earned media in Reuters, Vogue, HuffPost and The Guardian, and a Walker Books retail channel for the published guide. The organization reports an 85% school re-booking rate as its primary commercial KPI, indicating a relationship-driven, retention-led GTM motion across a distributed base of education customers rather than a concentrated enterprise sales model.

Direct peers

• Brook: UK charity delivering sexual health and relationships education to young people in schools and communities. Directly comparable as a specialist RSE provider with similar target audience (UK secondary schools and youth groups), workshop-based delivery model, and charity status.
• Brook Education / Worth Talking About: Brook's dedicated education arm delivering RSE workshops and CPD training in UK schools. Directly comparable as the school-facing division of a leading sexual health charity, competing for the same school contracts.
• Sexpression UK: Student-led charity providing RSE workshops in UK schools and universities. Comparable peer operating in the same niche with similar in-person workshop delivery to secondary schools, but differs in being university-student-volunteer led rather than professionally employed facilitators.
• Coram Life Education: UK charity delivering health and RSE education in primary and secondary schools via in-person workshops and mobile classrooms. Directly comparable school-facing delivery model with a similar charity structure and workshop-based revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Family Planning Association (FPA): Long-established UK sexual health charity providing RSE training, resources, and policy advocacy. Comparable as a broader incumbent in the same space with overlapping school-facing training programmes, but with a wider portfolio (clinical information, policy, resources) beyond workshop delivery.
• Stonewall: Major UK LGBTQIA+ rights charity with significant school-facing education and training programmes on inclusion and RSE. Comparable in the inclusive/LGBTQIA+ RSE niche and school training audience, though it operates across a much wider advocacy and workplace portfolio.
• PSHE Association: UK subject association for PSHE (personal, social, health and economic education), including RSE curriculum guidance, CPD, and resources. Comparable as the national membership body whose guidance influences school purchasing decisions on RSE providers.

Emerging players

• Shout Out UK: UK social enterprise delivering workshops in schools on democracy, identity, and RSE-related topics. Comparable as an emerging player with school workshop delivery and a focus on youth voice, though with a broader civic-education remit.
• Sex and History: Sex-positive education platform listed as a partner on the organization's website. Comparable as a smaller-scale RSE content creator with overlapping mission, but with a primarily digital/online delivery model rather than in-person workshops.

Regional players

• Relate: UK relationships counselling and education charity. Adjacent comparable with overlapping relationships education remit, but primarily a counselling provider for adults with a different revenue model (paid therapy) and lower direct overlap in secondary-school workshop delivery.
