Religious Sex Education

At St Gregory's, our vision is for all pupils to grow up and be safe, healthy, happy, and able to manage the challenges and opportunities of modern Britain. Our Relationship Sex Education curriculum is designed to support pupils with acquiring knowledge so that they can make informed decisions about their wellbeing, health and relationships, whilst preparing them for a successful adult life. As a Catholic school, we have adopted a Diocesan approved scheme known as ‘Life to the Full’ which is age-appropriate and sensitive to the needs and religious background of our pupils.

Our well-planned and sequenced programme does not just ensure that there is correspondence between phases and across disciplines but it also ensures that parents are fully involved in the planning and evaluation of the teaching of relationships and sexuality. Our parents are the children’s first educators and we work positively with parents to share the curriculum and provide opportunities for them to use the Parent Portal to further support their children’s learning and development beyond school life. Pupils should hear a consistent message about the meaning and value of human sexuality at home, in the parish and at school. This can only be achieved if the home, parish and school work to integrate the teaching of the RSE curriculum.

We place great importance on the Relationship Sex Education to our pupils at St. Gregory’s. It is taken seriously by school leaders, led properly by teachers who show dedication and commitment to the subject and taught as part of a whole-school approach by those who are able to celebrate the teaching of the Church on love and human sexuality.
