A health and wellbeing toolkit

PSHE Pupil wellbeing
Overcoming young people’s reluctance to talk about personal matters is a key part of making PSHE lessons a success. Dr Hilary Emery introduces a new toolkit that might help.

Government plans for what should be taught in PSHE are eagerly awaited by those who see it as a key part of every child’s education. Currently, we only know that the Department for Education will make an announcement later this year. 

In the meantime, PSHE remains a non-statutory part of the curriculum with schools deciding how much emphasis they give to the subject. 

Many schools are providing excellent PSHE, but it is important for those schools which see their priorities as lying in more traditional, core academic subjects to consider the crucial part PSHE can play in encouraging the health and wellbeing of pupils and in turn supporting their achievement and attainment.
