Catholic RSHE Y7: Stewards of the Body | Health & Puberty

Stewardship of the body, sleep, nutrition and activity, the physical and emotional changes of puberty, hygiene, and judging health information. Health Education - no right of withdrawal. Six ready-to-teach lesson decks, fully editable. Detailed, near-standalone lesson plans with subject knowledge and model answers. Medium-Term Plan with the statutory <-> Catholic mapping for every lesson. Knowledge Organiser and a Parent & Carer Information Sheet (supports the transparency duty). Safeguarding notes on every sensitive lesson, in the plan and on the deck. Scripture cited by reference - pupils read from their own class Bible. 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. Support organisations are indicated by name only; the resource deliberately does not supply telephone numbers.
