Relationship and Health Education
From September 2020, the Government has made Relationship and Health Education statutory for all primary schools. To fulfil this statutory requirement, we are using a programme by Ten:Ten, called Life to the Full.
Life to the Full is a Relationships and Health Education curriculum programme underpinned by a Christian faith understanding that our deepest identity is as a child of God – created, chosen and loved by God.
The Life to the Full programme is based on the structure of ‘A Model Catholic RSE Curriculum’ by the Catholic Education Service. This model curriculum was highlighted as a work of good practice by the Department of Education so we therefore have confidence that the programme will be fit for purpose in supporting the growth and development of your child.
Life to the Full is much more than a series of lessons. It is an entire platform of creative resources that will engage, inform and inspire our children and, indeed, you as parents. This includes interactive video content, story-based activities, employing a wide range of teaching tools, original worship music and an accompanying programme of classroom prayers
Life to the Full is intended to be partnership between home, school and church. We hope that our programme, Life to the Full, will further develop, support and enrich the partnerships so that your child is fully supported in their journey
The Role of the Parent
We see parents as the first educators of their children. Ten Ten Resources understands the foundational role that parents have in educating and nurturing their children on relationship and health matters. Within the programme, there is an Online Parental Portal to keep parents informed about what is being taught in school. This will also give them the opportunity to engage with their children in discussion, activity and prayer.
