RSE

Rationale ‘I have come that you might have life and have it to the full’ (Jn.10.10)

We are all involved in relationships and sex education precisely because of our Christian beliefs about God and the human person. The belief in the unique dignity of the human person made in the image and likeness of God, underpins the approach to all education in a Catholic school. Our approach to RSE therefore is rooted in the Catholic Church’s teaching of the human person and presented in a positive framework of Christian ideals.

Our RSE curriculum is taught using the TenTen Life to the full programme. There is a parent portal to view some of the resources and see an overview of the topics that are covered in each year group.

Ten Ten’s programme, Life to the Full, teaches relationship, sex and health education (RSHE) within the context of a Christian understanding of human sexuality rooted in the wisdom and teaching of the Catholic Church.

Given that RSHE is a statutory subject for all schools, we are embracing “the challenges of creating a happy and successful adult life” by giving pupils knowledge “that will enable them to make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships” (DFE Statutory Guidance).

We will deliver this teaching through the prism of Catholic RSHE. The framework of our programme is taken from the Model Catholic RSE Programme by the Catholic Education Service, which has been highlighted by the Department of Education as a work of good practice.
