Living Well PSHE & RSHE at Christ the King College
At Christ the King College, our Living Well programme brings together Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE) and Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) to support students as they grow into confident, compassionate and responsible young people.
Rooted in our Christian ethos, our curriculum recognises the inherent dignity and worth of every person. Inspired by Gospel values and Catholic Social Teaching, we aim to help students develop the knowledge, character, resilience and practical skills they need to flourish, build healthy relationships, make informed decisions and contribute positively to their communities and the wider world.
Our programme encourages students to explore important questions about identity, relationships, physical and emotional wellbeing, equality, justice, online safety, financial responsibility, healthy lifestyles, citizenship and preparation for adult life. As students progress through the College, topics are revisited and developed in an age-appropriate way, enabling them to grow in wisdom, confidence and independence.
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
John 10:10

Our aim and purpose
Through Living Well, we aim to provide a safe, respectful and supportive environment in which students can develop the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the opportunities and challenges of modern life. Our curriculum seeks to:
-
promote the God-given dignity and worth of every person;
-
nurture healthy, respectful and positive relationships;
-
develop emotional literacy, resilience and positive mental wellbeing;
-
equip students to stay safe both online and offline;
-
promote equality, inclusion, justice and respect for others;
-
help students make informed and responsible choices about their health and future;
-
develop financial literacy, citizenship and preparation for independent adult life; and
-
encourage students to use their gifts and talents in service of others and the common good.
Our approach is grounded in the belief that education should support the development of the whole person — spiritually, morally, socially, emotionally and physically — preparing young people not simply for examinations, but for life.
Our living well resources
Our Living Well curriculum is supported by Wellio, an educational platform providing age-appropriate PSHE and RSHE resources designed to help young people develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to navigate relationships, wellbeing, safety and adult life. Lessons are carefully reviewed and adapted by the College to ensure they reflect the needs of our students, our school context and our Christian and Catholic values.
Parents and carers can use the Wellio Parent Site linked on this page to browse lesson content and gain a clearer understanding of the topics explored with students.
We also embed selected resources from Pol-Ed, a programme developed with policing expertise to support education around areas such as personal safety, relationships, online behaviour, crime, exploitation and responsible citizenship. These resources help students explore real-world issues, understand the law and develop the confidence to make safe and responsible choices.
Learning journeys
Our Living Well Learning Journey roadmaps for each year group can be viewed on this page. These provide a clear overview of the themes, topics, scripture and key questions students encounter throughout the year.
Each learning journey is designed to build progressively upon previous knowledge, supporting students as they move from Year 7 through to Sixth Form and prepare for greater independence and adult life.
Careers education
Careers education and preparation for future pathways also take place during designated Living Well sessions. These opportunities help students explore their strengths, aspirations, further and higher education, apprenticeships, employment and the world of work.
Full details of our careers programme can be found on the College website under Curriculum → Careers.
Working in partnership with parents and carers
We recognise parents and carers as the primary educators of their children and greatly value partnership with families. We are committed to transparency about what is taught and welcome questions, feedback and opportunities for constructive dialogue about our PSHE and RSHE provision.
