Relationships, Health and Sex Education
In 2020, Relationships Education and Health Education became statutory in all primary schools in England. In July 2025, the Department for Education published updated statutory guidance for Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE), which schools are required to implement from September 2026.
As a Catholic school, our mission is to support the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of every child, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of the Catholic Church. The education of children in human relationships and human sexuality is an important, precious and privileged responsibility.
The Catholic Church teaches that parents are the first and foremost educators of their children. We greatly value this partnership and recognise that we educate your children alongside you, with your trust and support.
Following careful consideration of a range of programmes, we have decided to continue to use Life to the Full by Ten:Ten Resources as our whole-school RSHE programme from September 2026.
Life to the Full has been approved by Westminster Diocese and has been developed in partnership with the Catholic Education Service. Ten:Ten Resources also work closely with the Department for Education to ensure their programme fully meets the statutory requirements while remaining faithful to Catholic teaching. We are therefore confident that it is an excellent fit for Sacred Heart School.
A key strength of the programme is its commitment to working in partnership with parents and carers. It includes a range of resources that will keep you informed about what your child is learning and provide opportunities for discussion, shared activities and prayer at home.
