About the session• This session has been written to support school and staff development of PSHE – you may feel

that it is appropriate for both TAs and Teachers.• It takes a flexible approach, all timings are approximate and all activities may be altered to suit

your school’s needs.• It is suggested that PSHE developments are fed in to the School Improvement Plan and that the

PSHE Co-ordinator keeps a record of findings and feedback from staff. Budget and training needs may become apparent as you deliver the session.

• The final 2 slides contain a selection of questions for the co-ordinator: this list is by no means exhaustive.

• Always check the ppt and activities before delivering this training to staff.• To deliver this training in its entirety you will need:

flip chart paper, a computer, projector, screen, marker pens, PSHE National Curriculum statements, Foundation Stage requirements, post-it notes, blu tac, the SEAL pack or SEAL activities, a room which will accommodate the chairs to be placed in a horse-shoe shape or circle with space for staff to also work at tables; you may also want to provide staff with a handout of the PPT.

Remember – there is the National PSHE Continued Professional Development Accreditation available to all deliverers of PSHE. For further information about this programme contact [email protected] or visit http://www.babcock4s.co.uk/4S/PSHE-CPD

Objectives for the session

You may want to add or replace some of the objectives to suit your school’s needs

• To consider what PSHE is.• To become more familiar with the PSHE National Curriculum

Statements.• To raise awareness of which PSHE National Curriculum Statements are

covered in each year group.• To raise awareness of cross-curricular PSHE.• To become more aware of how SEAL contributes to the delivery of

effective PSHE.• To raise awareness that PSHE should be based upon pupil need, and

that consideration must be given to whether lessons are altered to ensure they are appropriate for both the class and individual pupils.

PSHE BrainstormIn small groups organised as you wish, staff brainstorm the following statements on flip chart paper. One statement per group.

• Why do we teach PSHE?• How does PSHE support the pupils and school

community?• What makes good PSHE?• What are the barriers to effective PSHE?

5 minutesFeedback each group’s findings - 10 mins


National Curriculum and PSHEStaff need to be provided with their PSHE Key Stage Statements, with their class already written on the document. In their groups, instruct staff to look at the PSHE National Curriculum. You may want to organise the staff in Key Stages. It is also beneficial to look at the Foundation Stage.

• Look through the National Curriculum Statements and consider which statements you cover in your teaching. (You may be covering more than you realise.) 5 mins

• Look again and consider which statements you cover in other curriculum areas, noting on the document the statement covered, the subject which covers it and the term in which it is covered (if possible). 10 mins


PSHE and SEAL

SEAL is a tool to help deliver the Social and Emotional Aspects of PSHE. It does not cover SRE, Drug Education or many aspects of Citizenship.

Look through your SEAL pack – if you do not have a SEAL pack see http://www.teachfind.com/national-strategies/seal-resources-all-themes . You can also download the resources from this website.

Choose a SEAL lesson or activity for your staff to consider in groups. After the staff have looked through the lesson/activity, they should then be given a selection of the following questions (see next slide). Try to ensure all questions are covered.

The staff should then feedback their thoughts and findings.

your pupils? Which bits and why?• Is there a clear learning objective and/or outcome?• Does the activity/lesson support the PSHE National

Curriculum Statements?• How would you know if the lesson had been successful?• How would you know whether the pupils had progressed?

• What would need to be developed in the first year, second year and the third year?

Consider: Who will do this? Who will support the action? What money/training/INSET is needed? Does it tie in the school development plan? Is there a place for it in the SEF?
