ST MARY'S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL

Parental Consultation 

At St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, we have been delivering Life to the Full by Ten Ten Resources as our Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) programme for several years. This programme has been approved by our Diocese and supports our mission to deliver RSHE in line with our Catholic values and ethos.

Since the academic year 2020/21, Relationships Education and Health Education have been statutory for all primary schools in England. In line with this, and as part of best practice, we are now seeking to consult with parents again about the content and delivery of our RSHE curriculum.

One of the most important aspects of a Catholic approach to RSHE is recognising the vital role of parents as the first educators of their children. The Church teaches that schools work in partnership with families, supporting them in this responsibility. It is therefore important that we consult with you, involve you in key decisions, and ensure that the programme we deliver continues to reflect the values of our school community.

Why Ten Ten?

Ten Ten is a Catholic educational organisation recognised nationally for its work in RSHE. Its Life to the Full programme is:

• Faithful to the teachings of the Church

• Age-appropriate and fully aligned with statutory requirements

• Designed to involve parents through structured resources and home learning opportunities

The programme includes a dedicated Parent Portal, where families can access content, see what children are learning in school, and explore ways to support learning and discussion at home.

Have Your Say

We invite all parents and carers to take part in our RSHE consultation. Ten Ten has created a Parent Consultation Tool – a short online presentation that:

• Outlines statutory changes to RSHE

• Shares the Catholic vision for the subject

• Explains how Life to the Full meets these requirements

• Highlights key decisions we need to make as a school

• Answers frequently asked questions from parents

You can access the consultation here:

You will need your unique username and password, which we have provided separately. If you do not have these details, please contact the school office.

Feedback Survey

After viewing the consultation material, we ask that you complete a short feedback survey to share your views on the RSHE programme. Your input will help us ensure that the curriculum continues to meet the needs of our children and reflects the values of our Catholic community.
