at St John’s Catholic Infant School
To support the children in Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) we follow a scheme called Ten:Ten Plus. This provides a comprehensive PSHE Programme which covers all the requirements of the government guidance and outcomes, and more. The framework of the programme covers all the themes described above which are taken from the Catholic RSE Programme by the Catholic Education Service, which has been highlighted by the Department of Education as a work of good practice. The Relationships, Healthy Me and Changing Me Puzzles (units) cover most of the aspects in the RSE guidance but these are enhanced, revisited and foundations built throughout the Jigsaw Programme. Alongside our PSHE Jigsaw scheme we use the Ten:Ten’s new programme for Catholic primary schools, Life to the Full, to teach Relationships Education and Health Education. This scheme has been recommended by the Bishop of Shrewsbury and ensures that RSE is taught within the context of a Christian understanding of human sexuality rooted in the wisdom and teaching of the Catholic Church. Life to the Full is a fully resourced scheme of work in Relationships and Health Education for Catholic primary schools which embraces and fulfils the new statutory curriculum. Taught with a spiral approach to learning, the children revisit the same topics at an age-appropriate stage through their school life. The entire teaching is underpinned with a religious understanding that our deepest identity is as a child of God – created, chosen and loved by God. The programme is fully inclusive of all pupils and their families
