RSE Curriculum Map

Module One: Created and Loved by God explores the individual. Rooted in the teaching that we are made in the image and likeness of God, it helps children to develop an understanding of the importance of valuing themselves as the basis for personal relationships. 

Module Two: Created to Love Others explores the individual’s relationships with others. Building on the understanding that we have been created out of love and for love, this unit explores how we take this calling into our family, friendships and relationships, and teaches strategies for developing healthy relationships. 

Module Three: Created to Live in Community explores the individual’s relationship with the wider world. Here we explore how human beings are relational by nature and are called to love others in the wider community through service, through dialogue and through working for the Common Good. 

Story Sessions: Each learning stage focuses on a different Gospel story, which is repeated in various ways over a week, giving rise to times of discussion, imaginative reflection and creative response, for example, in Key Stage One children will hear and reflect on the story of Jesus telling the little children to come to Him and through imaginative reflection will put themselves into the story to experience Jesus’ call personally. In Upper Key Stage Two, the story is that of Jesus calming the storm, and is used to reflect on how whatever might come their way through puberty and beyond, Jesus is with them and will help them.
