PSHE / RSHE
RELATIONSHIPS, SEX AND HEALTH EDUCATION (RSHE)
PARENT AND CARER CONSULTATION
CONSULTATION PERIOD: 01 OCTOBER 2026 – 01 NOVEMBER 2026
We are currently reviewing and updating our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) Policy and curriculum in response to the new statutory Department for Education requirements which came into effect from September 2026.
As a Catholic school, our approach to RSHE is rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church and our school mission, “Love one another as Jesus loves us.” We aim to provide an age-appropriate programme which supports children to understand healthy relationships, respect and dignity, keeping themselves safe and caring for their physical and emotional wellbeing.
We use Ten Ten Resources – Life to the Full Plus to support the teaching of RSHE within our school. This is a Catholic programme which has been developed to support schools in delivering RSHE within the context of a Christian understanding of the human person, relationships, family and the dignity of every individual. We also use Pol-Ed which is a scheme created by West Yorkshire Police to provide education relating to the issues children and young people are facing today.
Have your say
We value the important role that parents and carers play as the first educators of their children and would welcome your views as part of our consultation.
We invite you to:
- read our proposed updated RSHE Policy, which is available below;
- review the ‘Life to the Full’ resources and curriculum content using the information and access details provided below; and
- share any comments, questions or feedback with us before the consultation closes.
The consultation will remain open until 01 November 2026. Following the consultation period, all feedback received will be considered before the policy is finalised and presented to our Governing Body for approval.
Thank you for taking the time to engage with this important area of our curriculum and for working in partnership with us in the education and formation of our children.
