St Anne's Catholic Primary School

At St Anne’s, RSHE and Wellbeing  are taught with a spiral approach to learning in which pupils will revisit the same topics at an age-appropriate stage through their school life. The curriculum programme includes teaching about personal health, physical and emotional well-being, strong emotions, private parts of the body, personal and healthy relationships, family structures, trusted adults, growing bodies, puberty, periods, life cycles, the dangers of social media, an understanding of the Common Good and living in the wider world.

The entire teaching is underpinned with a Christian faith 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

At St Anne’s, we use the Ten Ten, ‘Life to the Full’ and Kapow programmes, from EYFS to Year 6. We strive to give our pupils outstanding RHSE lessons and experiences. 

All RSHE and Wellbeing lessons will be in accordance with the Church’s moral teaching. It will emphasise the central importance of marriage and the family, whilst acknowledging that all pupils have a fundamental right to have their life respected whatever household they come from. It will also prepare pupils for life in modern Britain. This includes learning about British Values, protected characteristic (age appropriate) and equal opportunities.
