What is SRE? SRE is the life long learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It is the understanding of the importance of marriage for family life, stable and loving relationships, respect, love and care. It is also about the teaching of sex, sexuality and sexual health.
Sex and Relationship Education • SRE forms a part of the whole PSHE Programme • There is a lot of overlap between the different areas • The key message is the well-being of the child • Parents have the right to withdraw their child from elements of SRE
Partnership • Important to remember that parents are the first educators of the child. • Partnership is essential and our role as a school is to support you not replace you. • Other key player is the Church Church School Home
A Journey in LOVE The central message of the Christian faith is love. “My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you.” John 15:12
A Journey in LOVE • The journey begins right from the moment of our conception God is at the heart of love • Puberty can be a very confusing time, but even in the confusion, God is there. • The Sacrament of Marriage declares the commitment of each spouse to the other permanently in the acknowledgement that it is God-given.

Journey of love For each of us, life is like a journey. Birth is the beginning of this journey, And death is not the end; but the destination. It is a journey that takes us From youth to age, From innocence to awareness From ignorance to knowledge From foolishness to wisdom From weakness to strength and often back again From offence to forgiveness From pain to compassion, From fear to faith, From defeat to victory and from victory to defeat, Until, looking backward or ahead, We see that victory does not lie At some high point along the way, But in having made the journey, Stage by stage Adapted from an old Hebrew Prayer
