Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) and PSHE at St Edmund’s

 

At St Edmund’s, we believe that every child is created in the image and likeness of God, uniquely loved and called to flourish. Our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSE) and PSHE curriculum enables children to grow in knowledge, respect, and responsibility, preparing them to live safe, healthy, and faith-filled lives.

We follow Life to the Full Plus, a comprehensive programme developed by Ten Ten Resources and approved by the Catholic Education Service. This scheme is fully in line with the statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education, while being rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church.

 

What children learn

 

The programme is structured across three key themes, which are revisited and deepened from Early Years to Year 6:

  1. Created and Loved by God

    • Recognising the dignity of every person as created in God’s image.

    • Learning about physical and emotional health, life cycles, and the uniqueness of each individual.

  2. Created to Love Others

    • Understanding relationships, family life, friendship, and online safety.

    • Exploring how to form healthy, respectful and loving relationships, both offline and online.

  3. Created to Live in Community

    • Appreciating our role in wider society and the Church.

    • Learning about responsibilities, Catholic Social Teaching, and caring for others and creation.

Each module is age-appropriate, with a clear progression of knowledge and theological language. Prayer, reflection, and Scripture are woven throughout, ensuring that children connect what they learn with their faith.

How it is taught

  • Lessons are interactive and sensitive, using film, story, discussion, and prayer.

  • Teachers adapt materials to support children’s needs, ensuring inclusivity.

  • Parents are given access to the Ten Ten Parent Portal, so that home and school work together in guiding children.

 

Beyond the classroom

 

Our RSE and PSHE curriculum links with:

  • Catholic Social Teaching projects, led by our Caritas Ambassadors.

  • Pastoral care and wellbeing initiatives, ensuring children feel safe and valued.

  • Prayer and liturgy, where themes of love, respect, and dignity are celebrated in worship.

 

By the time they leave St Edmund’s, our pupils are equipped with the knowledge, faith, and values to navigate life with confidence, compassion, and a clear sense of God’s call.

 

Life to the Full – Parent Information

At St Edmund’s we follow Life to the Full, a Relationships, Health and Sex Education (RHE) programme created by Ten Ten Resources and approved by the Diocese of Westminster. It is rooted in Catholic teaching, fully compliant with statutory guidance, and designed to support children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

Parents are key partners in this journey. Ten Ten provides a secure Parent Portal where you can:

  • See what your child is learning each term

  • Access resources to support conversations at home

  • Share in the prayers and activities used in school

We encourage all families to make use of this resource so that you are fully aware of the content being taught and can support your child’s learning journey at home.
