RSE

The Catechism of the Catholic Church perfectly sums up the core principle that the Church
gives us with regard to parental support when teaching children about RSHE:

The Catholic Church further expands on this by saying that God has given each family its
own specific and unique mission, and that the role of the school is to complement the
educational responsibilities that have been bestowed upon parents.

According to the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome:

So, parents are the first educators of their children. It is their right and responsibility to
inform and educate their children in matters relating to human growth and development,
particularly sexual development. Therefore, schools should always seek to work in
partnership with parents and carers. The teaching offered by schools will complement
their primary role. In doing so, we are fulfilling the mission of the Church and enacting
the Home-Parish-School triangle: supporting the Church in its duty to educate on these
matters, and assisting parents in their duties.

In conclusion, we can say there is a lot of synergy between what the Government says
about engaging parents, and the emphasis placed by the Catholic Church on the centrality
of parents to teaching the subject and we thank you for your continued support.
