St. Richard’s Roman Catholic Primary School

As a Catholic School within the Archdiocese of Liverpool, the Governors of Saint Richard's have adopted ‘A Journey in Love’, a programme to support the non-statutory teaching of Relationships and Sex Education [RSE].

The programme is authentic to the teaching of the Catholic Church and is intended to support teachers and parents in Catholic schools to enable holistic growth of children. As the first educators, parents/ carers are the key people who will teach children about relationships. It is hoped that ‘A Journey in Love’ will complement this teaching in an age appropriate way.
