RSHE Teaching
RSHE is learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It forms part of our RE, PSHE, Science and Computing curriculum and our key objective is developing the well-being of the child.
In line with guidance from the Diocese, we are using a programme called 'Life to the Full' by Ten Ten Resources. This programme has been approved by the Diocese. Furthermore, Ten Ten Resources has 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 RSE. In Year 5 and 6 parents are invited in to School to view the resources prior to them being shown to the children. This allows parents the ability to support their children at home.
As a Catholic school, our mission is to support the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all of our children, rooted in the wisdom and teaching of the Church.
Life to the Full-Ten Principles for Catholic RSE:
- Our bodies are good
- Through loving relationships we become close to the image and likeness of God
- Catholic Relationship Sex Education is about the whole person
- Catholic RSE should be taught in partnership with parents
- To identify as a child of God
- Story can change heart and mind
- Catholic RSE is an education in virtue
- Catholic RSE is an education in conscience
- Relationship education is about striving for the common good
- Prayer, scripture and the Sacraments underpin the teaching
Structure of 'Life to the Full'
Each year group covers the same three modules, which take their names from the three themes of the CES Model Curriculum:
- Module 1: Created and loved by God
- Module 2: Created to love others
- Module 3: Created to live in the community
