A complete six-lesson KS4 RSHE unit on substances, safety and first aid — DfE statutory-compliant AND faithful to Catholic teaching, within a positive vision of freedom, temperance and stewardship of the gift of life.

Lessons: 1) Freedom, temperance and stewardship; 2) Alcohol: facts, the law and responsible choices; 3) Smoking, vaping and nicotine (2025); 4) Drugs, the law and county lines; 5) Personal safety, risk and serious violence; 6) Emergencies and first aid (including CPR & defibrillators).

Covers the 2025 additions on vaping/nicotine, and full life-saving first aid framed as “love your neighbour” in action. Includes 11 files (MTP, Knowledge Organiser, 6 editable decks with model answers, 6 detailed lesson plans, Parent/Carer sheet, reflections).

This is health education (not sex education) — no right to withdraw, no diocesan sign-off required. County-lines and serious-violence content is safeguarding-sensitive and handled with care. First-aid content builds confidence but is not a certificated qualification. Single-school licence. © Verity Education.

IMPORTANT — SCHOOL REVIEW REQUIRED BEFORE TEACHING. This scheme is a teaching resource, not an approval. The units covering sex education and life issues should be reviewed and approved through your school’s own governance process and, where your school requires it, by your diocese, before delivery. The unit addressing mental health requires safeguarding sign-off from your designated safeguarding lead.

Schools remain responsible for their own compliance, policy and safeguarding decisions. Where a lesson signposts support, your school should source and verify its own current contact details — national services and helpline numbers change, and your school is best placed to confirm them and to add local services and named staff. Support organisations are indicated by name only; the resource deliberately does not supply telephone numbers.

Aligned to the statutory Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education guidance for England (Department for Education, 2019; © Crown copyright, reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0; source: ), and written within the Catholic understanding of the human person.

This resource is an independent interpretation of the statutory requirements. It does not reproduce the statutory guidance beyond fair citation, and it is not an official, diocesan-approved or Catholic Education Service publication.

Catholic Secondary RSHE | WHOLE SCHOOL KS3–KS4 | 15 Units, Dual-Compliant

The complete Catholic secondary RSHE programme — all of Key Stages 3 AND 4 (Years 7–11), 15 units, in one download. Statutory-compliant AND faithful to Catholic teaching: the "dual compliance" your school actually needs. Most RSHE resources force a choice: DfE-compliant OR authentically Catholic. This scheme does both. Every unit meets the DfE statutory RSHE requirements (including the 2025 additions — online harms, misogyny/VAWG, mental health, sexual health, biological sex and gender) while grounding it all in a coherent Catholic vision of the human person: imago Dei, the body as gift, love as self-gift, virtue, and conscience. WHAT'S INCLUDED — for every one of the 15 units: - Cover & licence - Medium-Term Plan with a statutory ↔ Catholic mapping table - Knowledge Organiser - Parent & Carer Information Sheet - A detailed, near-standalone lesson-plan booklet (6 lessons) - 6 ready-to-teach, editable lesson decks That's 90 lessons and 90 decks across the whole of secondary — plus two Dual-Compliance Coverage Maps (KS3 and KS4) that show, at a glance, exactly where each statutory requirement is met. THE 15 UNITS KS3 — Y7: Made in God's Image · Stewards of the Body · Real Friendship & Family. Y8: Living in a Digital World · Respect, Courage & Standing Up · Mind & Heart (mental health). Y9: Made for Love · Body, Sexual Health & the Truth of the Person · Choices & Life. KS4 — Y10: Made for Love, Made for Life · The Gift of Sexuality · Healthy Minds. Y11: The Dignity of Life · Risk, Freedom & Responsibility · Ready for Adult Life. GOVERNANCE, HANDLED PROPERLY The sensitive units (sex education, mental health, and life issues) come with clear governance notes: recommended diocesan approval, parental right-to-withdraw guidance, safe-messaging on mental health, and evenhanded, factual, non-explicit teaching. Everything is designed to be taught with sensitivity and to satisfy inspectors, governors and parents alike. Aligned to the DfE statutory RSHE guidance and written to sit within a Catholic school's mission. A teaching resource; not an official publication of the CES or any diocese. 167 files: 77 documents + 90 editable slide decks. Single-school licence.

The complete Catholic RSHE programme for Key Stage 4 — all of Years 10 and 11, six units, in one download. Statutory-compliant AND faithful to Catholic teaching: the "dual compliance" your exam-cohort students need, at mature depth. Most RSHE resources force a choice: DfE-compliant OR authentically Catholic. This scheme does both. Every unit meets the DfE statutory RSHE requirements (the "by end of secondary" content, including the 2025 additions) while grounding it all in a coherent Catholic vision of the human person: imago Dei, the body as gift, love as self-gift, virtue and conscience.

GOVERNANCE, HANDLED PROPERLY The sensitive units (sexual health, mental health, and life issues such as abortion, IVF and end-of-life) come with clear governance notes: recommended diocesan approval, parental right-to-withdraw guidance, safe-messaging on mental health, and evenhanded, factual, non-explicit teaching that presents the Catholic view fairly alongside the law and other perspectives. Aligned to the DfE statutory RSHE guidance and written to sit within a Catholic school's mission. A teaching resource; not an official publication of the CES or any diocese. Single-school licence.
