Features of good practice observed
Students speak highly of the programme of study; they enjoy their lessons which they find relevant and stimulating. The curriculum is comprehensive, coherent and age appropriate; building well on students’ previous knowledge. The accredited routes are successful and ensure a high profile for PSHEE and an entitlement for all. The development of students’ personal and social skills through the extensive range of responsibilities beyond the classroom is excellent.
p.1
Areas for development
ensure a clear distinction between the PSHEE and citizenship programmes of study provide dedicated time for team meetings and for the monitoring and evaluation of teaching and learning in PSHEE.
