Relationships and Sex Education
In 2020, Relationships Education and Health Education became statutory for all primary schools in England.
As a Catholic school, our mission is to support the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all of our pupils, rooted in the wisdom and teaching of the Church. The education of children in human sexuality is an important, precious and privileged responsibility. The Church teaches us that this is very much a partnership with parents, in which parents are the ‘first educators’ of their children on these matters; ultimately, you confer on us the right to co-educate your children with you.
Following a consultation with parents, staff, governors and priest in the summer of 2024, we decided to adopt Life to the Full by Ten Ten Resources. Ten Ten Resources is an award-winning Catholic educational organisation that is well-respected and very experienced in this field of work.
Life to the Full has been approved by the Diocese of Portsmouth. Furthermore, Ten Ten Resources have entered into a partnership with the Catholic Education Service and the Department for Education to provide training for teachers in Catholic schools on the subject of the RHE statutory curriculum. Therefore, we are confident that this programme is a very good fit for our school.
Through their programme, Ten Ten Resources understand the foundational role that parents have in educating and nurturing their children on these matters. Within the programme, they have built in resources which will not only keep parents informed about what is being taught in school, but will also give them the opportunity to engage their children in discussion, activity and prayer.
