A Journey in Love RSHE

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

St Anthony's Catholic Primary School is committed to providing a balanced education for all pupils.

St. Anthony's Catholic Primary School  is a place where Governors, Staff and Parents desire that the spirit and principles of the Gospel permeate all aspects of school life.

Within the context of this Christian community, we aim to foster the harmonious development of each child spiritually, morally, intellectually, emotionally, socially, aesthetically and physically.

Our approach to Relationship and Sex Education  will be a “positive” one because everything in creation was found by God “to be very good” (Gen.1:31). This affirmation of the fundamental goodness of the human person is further emphasised by the gift of the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus. Thus in all matters to do with creation we need to celebrate the good we have been given in this gift. This is particularly true of our education in sexuality.
