Curriculum

We have developed our curriculum with recommendations from the Archdiocesan Education Department to ensure that they meet with Catholic Church teaching.

After consultation with parents Relationship Sex Education will be covered using the Archdiocesan recommended resource ‘Journey In Love’ 2020 this includes *sexual intercourse at Year 6. (See right of withdrawal)

We have considered the age, stage and feelings of pupils and have consulted with parents and staff to ensure we are offering a quality curriculum which is adequately catered to meet their needs.  

We are going to be using The TenTen: Life to the Full resources and programme, giving the catholic lens,  together with the new Journey in Love, supplemented by the PSHE Association materials. Our science curriculum also covers some elements.

The Purpose

The aims of Relationship, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) at St Alban’s Catholic Primary are to:

• Provide a framework in which sensitive discussions can take place.
• Help pupils develop feelings of dignity, self-worth, self-respect, confidence and empathy.
• Prepare pupils for puberty and give them an understanding of sexual development and the importance of health and hygiene.
• Create a positive culture around issues of sexuality and relationships.
• Teach pupils the correct vocabulary to describe themselves and their bodies.

Ten Ten have provided an online Parent Consultation Tool. This is a simple-to-follow, short online course which:

• Outlines the statutory changes that will take place.
• Articulates a vision for Catholic Relationships and Health Education.
•  Explains how Life to the Full aims to help us fulfil the statutory curriculum with a Catholic ethos.
• Provides some information about key decisions we need to make, in consultation with parents.
• Answers some Frequently Asked Questions.

Ten Ten have also provided an Online Parent Portal which will be a tool we can use throughout the year to keep you informed and updated about the work we are doing in school.
