“Treat others the way you want to be treated.”
Luke 6:31
At St. Clare’s, one of our core values is respect. We emphasize the importance of kindness, understanding, and mutual respect in all our relationships, laying a strong foundation for learning about healthy interactions and personal well-being.
At St Clare’s, our belief in the unique dignity of the human person as made in the image and likeness of God underpins the approach to all education in our school. Our approach to Relationships, Sex and Health Education therefore is rooted in the Catholic Church’s teaching of the human person and is presented positively.
Stemming from this vision of what it means to be human, we seek to educate the whole child: spiritually, morally, socially, culturally, mentally and physically towards our understanding of Christian maturity
High quality teaching of RSHE at St Clare’s, will help prepare our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life in Modern Britain.
All RSHE teaching will be in accordance with the Church’s moral teaching and will enhance our Catholic Ethos. Therefore, the Governors at St Clare’s have adopted the Journey in Love Programme, as recommended by the Archdiocese, to support the statutory (as from Summer 2021) RSHE curriculum.
It is now a statutory requirement for schools in England to teach Relationships/ Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education — sometimes abbreviated as ‘RSHE’.
PSHE education is the school curriculum subject through which RSHE content is delivered in the vast majority of schools. Teaching RSHE within this context is effective because of the overlap and connections between health, relationships, economic wellbeing and thriving in life and work.
More information about RHSE can be found here and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact school.
