schools, like all other schools in England, are required to produce a written policy following the guidance issued by the Department for Education on Relationships and Health Education(RHE) in primary schools and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) in secondary schools. [The DfE guidance can be found here](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/relationships-education-relationships-and-sex-education-rse-and-health-education). Catholic schools are also required to deliver RHE in accordance with the teaching of the Church. This approach is compatible with the guidance issued by the DfE. ![](https://stjohnboscosunderland.org.uk/images/Class-Values-Poster-Mistakes-1024x724.png) **Why is RHE in Catholic Schools important?** RHE is part of the mission of Catholic schools to educate the whole person. It should be carried out as part of the holistic education which seeks to form as well as inform young people in preparation for adult life. What does outstanding RHE in a Catholic school look like? In order for Catholic RHE to be fully effective it needs to: - Be faithful to the Church’s vision of human wholeness whilst recognising the contemporary context in which we live today; - Involve parents as they are primary educators of their child; - Provide a positive view of human sexuality and dignity of the human person; - Equip young people with the ability to make practical judgments about the right thing to do in particular circumstances; - Explore and promote virtues which are essential to promoting respect and dignity; - Be delivered in an age appropriate way which reflects the development of the child; - Be part of the cross-curricular work in both primary and secondary schools; - Be sensitive to the needs of the individual pupil and recognise the mix of pupils with different sexual orientations, genders and family backgrounds in each class; - Be taken seriously by governors and teachers as an integrated part of the broad and balanced curriculum that Catholic schools offer; - Be delivered by competent professionals who understand the Church’s teaching.

It covers everyone in Britain and protects people from discrimination, harassment and victimisation. Everyone in Britain is protected. This is because the Equality Act protects people against discrimination because of the protected characteristics that we all have. The document below outlines how we embed them in our school.

Please refer to the curriculum map and termly leaflets for more information on what the children are learning and how you can support them. The content of Religious Education at St. John Bosco Catholic School offers a systematic programme of study which comprehensively covers all the strands and requirements of The Religious Education Curriculum Directory (3-19). This ensures that the teaching and learning of Religious Education at our school reflects the vision and breadth of the teaching of the Church outlined in the Catechism. At our school, Religious Education (RE) is a core subject and reflects the Catholic ethos and mission of the school. It forms an integral part of the curriculum and contributes to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of all pupils. However, in accordance with legislation, parents and carers have the **right to withdraw their child, wholly or in part, from Religious Education lessons**. Any parent wishing to exercise this right is encouraged to speak with the Headteacher to discuss their concerns and the nature of the provision that will be made for their child during these times. Where a child is withdrawn from RE, we will make appropriate alternative arrangements for supervision, though we are not required to provide alternative curriculum content.

By attending Mass regularly and supporting them in their school work, we can work together to provide a spiritually rich environment which enables them to grow in the light and love of God. ![](https://stjohnboscosunderland.org.uk/images/thumbnail_IMG_1315-300x225.jpg) Family RE display #### Come and See: At St. John Bosco Catholic Primary School, we follow the ‘Come and See’ programme to deliver high-quality Religious Education lessons from EYFS through to Key Stages 1 and 2. It encompasses three themes which are gradually explored at greater depths as the children get older. The three themes are: Church, Sacrament and Christian Living. The process for delivering the topics in ‘Come and See’ has three stages: 1\) Explore ‘Explore’ is the introduction to the topic where the children’s life experience is explored. The questions it raises are wondered at, shared, investigated and their significance is reflected upon. 2\) Reveal ‘Reveal’ is the heart of the programme where knowledge and understanding of the Catholic faith is revealed through the Word, in Scripture, Tradition, doctrine, prayers, rites and Christian living. 3\) Respond ‘Respond’ is where the learning is assimilated, celebrated and responded to in daily life. At the end of each topic, children will be given an opportunity to apply what they have learnt by responding to a ‘Big Question’ assessment question. #### Other Faiths At St. John Bosco Catholic School, the children also learn about other world religions such as Islam and Judaism. Each year group has a particular area to focus on within world religions which are outlined in Come and See at various times throughout the year (taking into account when festivals and celebrations fall).
