RSE Parent Consultation |
Thursday, 11th November
Dear Parents and Carers,
In the academic year 2020/21, Relationships Education and Health Education became statutory in all primary schools in England. This new subject will build on the non-statutory lessons we have previously taught in RSE. RSE is an abbreviation of Relationships and Sex Education. At Corpus Christi School, we have always had an RSE policy in place and have taught this subject across all year groups for many years. This has included teaching about physical changes during puberty in Year 5 and human reproduction in Year 6.
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.
We have been researching various programmes that are available and have decided to adopt Life to the Full by Ten Ten Resources. Ten Ten is an award-winning Catholic educational organisation that is well-respected and very experienced in this field of work. This scheme is recommended by the Education Commission for the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. Therefore, we are confident that this programme is a very good fit for our school.
Through their programme, Ten Ten 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 engage your children in discussion, activity and prayer. Through the content of this scheme, we deliver key learning that supports the school’s agreed Christian ethos and values.
We would value your feedback on our approach to delivering RSE at school.
