At St. Teresa’s, our curriculum is a carefully structured program designed to help children and young people acquire the knowledge, understanding, and skills they need to manage their lives both now and in the future. Lessons begin in the Early Years and are progressively built upon throughout the school, continuing through to Year 6.
Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) at St. Teresa’s is delivered through the ‘Ten:Ten Life to the Full’ scheme recommended by Salford Diocese. This scheme is designed as a progressive curriculum from EYFS to Year 6, teaching RSE within the context of a Christian understanding of human sexuality rooted in the wisdom and teachings of the Catholic Church. While school staff are primarily responsible for delivering the scheme, external agencies and healthcare professionals may also contribute, ensuring alignment with our school ethos and the Church’s teachings.

Our RSE Subject Lead is Miss S Gibbons.
Alongside our PSHE sessions and our RE and Science lessons, we have adopted Life to the Full by Ten Ten Resources to enhance and support the children with their RSE learning. Ten Ten is an award-winning Catholic educational organisation that is well-respected and very experienced in this field of work. Life to the Full has been approved by our diocese. Furthermore, Ten Ten have entered into a partnership with the Catholic Education Service and the Department for Education to provide training for teachers in Catholic schools on the subject of the new statutory curriculum. Therefore, we are confident that this programme is a very good fit for our school.
Through their programme, Ten Ten understand the foundational role that parents have in educating and nurturing their children on these matters. Within the programme, they have built in resources which will not only keep you informed about what is being taught in school, but will also give you the opportunity to engage your children in discussion, activity and prayer.
