What is PSHE education?
Personal, social, health and economic education (aka: PHSE, PSHCE, PSE, PSHE…)
‘a planned programme of learning opportunities and experiences that help
children and young people grow and develop as individuals and as members
of families and of social and economic communities’ (PSHE Strategic
Partners)
‘equips children and young people with knowledge, understanding,
attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive, fulfilled,
capable and responsible lives.’ (National Curriculum)
Also makes a significant contribution to personal development, but is not
synonymous with it.

A few things to bear in mind

Ofsted:
 new framework and subject criteria from January 2012 http://www.psheassociation.org.uk/uploads/media/17/7611.pdf
 Spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) understanding

NC review:
 as yet unpublished
 first teaching September 2014
 likely emphasis on what children and young people should know
(core knowledge and outcomes)

Subject status and perception
Linking my resources to PSHE education
Work in small groups and prepare a
PSHE lesson using your collections,
making links to the PoS (choose a key
stage/phase).
Consider:
•
focus/outcome in relation to the PoS
•
links to other subject areas/topic
learning
•
any PD or SMSC issues to consider?
