Overall School Provision

Guidance on Teaching in Secondary Schools

Personal, Social and Health Education is a school’s overall planned provision for pupils’ personal and social development. It encompasses not only work done in discrete curriculum time but should be integrated across the curriculum and in the school’s pastoral system and be reflected in the school’s ethos. The active participation of pupils is essential to enhance their motivation, behaviour and achievement and keep the needs of young people at the centre.

PSHE provision should complement:

• the personal and social development of pupils provided at home and
• the school’s curriculum for citizenship, careers education and guidance and any work-related programmes.

PSHE is aimed to help pupils extend their skills, knowledge and understanding in order to:

• develop further as effective and motivated learners who value their achievements

• develop confidence, positive self-esteem and willingness to take responsibility for themselves and others
• participate satisfactorily in a wide range of fulfilling relationships and appreciate differences between people
• make informed choices about leading healthy and safe lifestyles, deal with risk and meet challenges successfully
• participate actively in democratic society and
• safeguard the environment.

The National Healthy School Standard launched in 1999 offers an integrated whole school process for enabling schools to build on their collaborative relationships with parents and local partners and agencies to promote further opportunities for PSHE including drug education, emotional health awareness and literacy, healthy eating, physical activity, safety and sex and relationship education.

Pupils gain from real life and simulated experiences, where they can learn, practise and demonstrate their personal and social skills as well as acquiring new skills and information about specific issues such as basic emergency aid procedures and causes, symptoms and treatments for stress. Time for reflection should be planned as part of the overall time allocation to allow pupils to share reactions and make sense of their experiences in relation to themselves and others.

Opportunities should be provided for pupils to assess evidence, make decisions, form and deal with relationships, solve problems and work both independently and co-operatively. Teaching methods that are effective here include: case studies, debates, quizzes, role plays, problem solving exercises, questionnaires, surveys, games, simulations and involvement with outside agencies to provide speakers and other resources.
