FREE Catholic RSHE Sample: Y7 Unit 1 + KS3 Coverage Map

A complete unit’s lesson plans, knowledge organiser, parent and carer information sheet and opening lesson deck from Catholic RSHE Year 7 Unit 1: Made in God’s Image (dignity, self-worth, difference, body image, belonging and asking for help; no sex education content), plus the full KS3 Dual-Compliance Coverage Map showing every KS3 lesson mapped to its statutory strand and its Catholic source. See exactly how the dual-compliance approach works before you buy.
The full scheme (17 units across Years 7-11, each with six editable decks, detailed near-standalone plans, a medium-term plan with the statutory-to-Catholic mapping for every lesson, a knowledge organiser and a parent sheet) is in the Verity Education shop as single units, year bundles and whole-key-stage bundles.
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. Lessons addressing exploitation, self-harm or suicide prevention require 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.
