Intent

Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) is the lifelong learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It is taught in the context of our Catholic faith. The subject covers the understanding of the importance of marriage for family life, stable and loving relationships, respect, love and care. It is also about the teaching of sex, sexuality and sexual health. Our intent for RSHE is to support our parents or carers in the education of their child, recognising that they are the prime educators.  Our teaching reflects the law, including the Equality Act 2010.  We will ensure that RSHE is accessible for all pupils, including those with Special Educational Needs and/or disability.

Implementation 

We use the Diocesan approved Ten:Ten 'Life to the Full' programme from Reception to Year Six. Lessons are taught with a ‘spiral’ approach to learning, in which children will revisit the same topics at an age-appropriate stage throughout their school life. The entire teaching is underpinned by a religious understanding that our deepest identity is as a child of God – created, chosen, and loved by God. It is fully inclusive of all pupils and their families.

• Module One; Created and loved by God
• Module Two; Created to love others
• Module Three; Created to live in the community

Parents are informed about the Ten:Ten 'Life to the Full' content every year via the Parent Portal with an opportunity to ask questions about the delivery of the programme.
