PSHE Teaching Philosophy and Learning Outcomes

At Shottery we contend that PSHE lessons should be:

Personal: students should have a degree of input into what will be discussed and considered. Issues should reflect each student’s personal needs and interests.

Social: lessons should generally not follow a structured traditional classroom environment. There should be extensive use of group work, class discussion, and other active means of social engagement. PSHE should encourage form identity. For example, it should be inclusive and discourage the development of cliques.

We understand that PSHE must also follow the learning outcomes of Every Child Matters as well as suggested Key Stage outcomes from OFSTED.

OFSTED learning outcomes follow this outline:

	Developing confidence
	Careers education.
	Healthy and safe lifestyles
	Developing good relationships
	Sex and relationship education
	Drug education

Succinctly put, PSHE should be a positive distinctly different lesson in the week where girls can look at the broader issues of life and how they affect them as individuals. It should follow government guidelines particularly as they follow the needs and interests of the students under our charge.

Any further inquires can be directed to Mr Kuhn via the school office.
