The link between effective PSHE education and good student behaviour is evident, Ofsted has reminded schools.
A report into PSHE provision also notes a close correlation between schools’ overall inspection grades and their grade for PSHE.
The study, entitled Not Yet Good Enough, found that PSHE provision was good or better in 60 per cent of the 50 schools visited (24 primary, 24 secondary, two special).
Inspectors highlight a range of good practice, while also listing areas where provision is lacking. Criticisms include that:
Sex and relationships education (SRE) required improvement in almost half of secondary schools and a third of primaries.
Teachers lacked the training to tackle sensitive and controversial issues.
