An extract from a presentation By 3Di Associates PSHE in School

Why PSHE Education? “PSHE education makes a major contribution to schools’ statutory responsibilities to promote children and young people’s wellbeing (Wellbeing is defined in the Children Act 2004 as the promotion of physical and mental health; emotional wellbeing; social and economic well being; education, training and recreation; recognition of the contribution made by children to society; and protection from harm and neglect.) achieve the whole curriculum aims promote community cohesion” - PSHE Association

PSHE: Curriculum, Ethos and Environment PSHE as a subject in its own right PSHE within other curriculum areas PSHE in assemblies PSHE in the playground PSHE as a whole school approach PSHE is not just a curriculum area - though time needs to be allocated for this. So how do we integrate it and record progress in PSHE across the whole school? Is PSHE only for children and young people?
