RSHE

The governors at St Michael’s Catholic Primary School have followed the Archdiocese of Liverpool’s guidance and adopted the ‘Journey In Love’ programme to support the non-statutory relationships and sex education across the school from Nursery to Year 6.  The programme of study is authentic to the teaching of the Catholic Church.

A Journey in Love is the recommended programme of study for Catholic schools for Relationship and Sex Education, and has been written as a progressive scheme of work that supports the Religious Education, PSHE and Science curriculum taught within the school.

As part of our commitment to you, we will hold a meeting annually for the parents and carers of children across the school to discuss the programme.  As parents, you have the right to withdraw your child from this aspect of the curriculum however, this is not to be confused with curriculum Science which is statutory and certain aspects of relationships within the Relationships and Health Education, which are also statutory.  Any request to withdraw a child from Sex Education should be made in writing to the Headteacher.

If you require any further clarification regarding this aspect of the curriculum, please contact: Mrs Jade Gordon (Head teacher) or Mrs Nicola Roscoe (Assistant Head teacher/RE Lead).
