How to nail the new RSHE guidance requirements: getting it right for your school (separate KS1-2 and KS3-4 versions available)
Get to grips with all of the new RSHE requirements and implications for your school, while gaining first access to our new Programme of Study for PSHE education and curriculum model for primary/secondary settings. Our Programme of Study is how most schools in England structure their PSHE/RSHE provision, and we’re delighted to launch this fully updated version on the day, alongside a brand-new curriculum model to help you deliver the perfect programme for your school and pupils. These planning tools will allow you to create a carefully sequenced and relevant programme that meets all the statutory requirements and is tailored to your pupils’ needs.
How schools can meet the RSHE guidance requirements for pupils with SEND (KS1-4)
This workshop will present practical advice on meeting all of the updated statutory RSHE requirements in a SEND setting, while considering the implications for your school and pupils. Suitable for anyone working with SEND pupils, in both special school and mainstream settings across key stages 1-4, this session will explore key topics within the new RSHE guidance and share practical, classroom-ready strategies to make learning meaningful, accessible, and inclusive for pupils with SEND.
What can we do about the deepfake crisis? Latest research and practical solutions (KS3-4)
With deepfake technology increasingly easy to access, and rising use amongst young people, it is vital that teachers support students to understand and avoid the safeguarding risks, harms and consequences associated with its use. We will be joined by Adam Groves from Nominet, who will share his research findings on the circulation of deepfake images and video and the impact on young people and their communities. Our Subject Specialists will then share practical insights, advice and new lesson plans on how to address this emerging challenge in the classroom through your PSHE/RSHE curriculum.
Avoiding the fear factor: what we can learn from knife crime education about how to teach PSHE (KS1-4)
The updated RSHE guidance is clear that fear-based approaches should be avoided in PSHE education. But why are these – and related approaches often used in knife crime education – ineffective and sometimes even harmful? This workshop will take a deeper look at the evidence base for what does and doesn't work in the classroom; and share practical ideas for alternative approaches that draw on this evidence for teaching topics across PSHE education, including topics added to the new statutory RSHE guidance, such as knife crime. This session will share tips on choosing visiting speakers or resources for these topics.
Navigating the news - from critical media literacy skills to managing wellbeing (KS1-4)
Children and young people are increasingly exposed to distressing news content. Though this is due in part to the challenging times in which we live, it is also heavily fuelled by the attention economy and diversification of how news is relayed and consumed. Meanwhile, information is easier than ever to fake and harder to fact-check. This workshop will explore how you can develop pupils’ media and news literacy in line with the updated RSHE requirements. You will gain practical strategies and resources to support both (a) a preventative approach to building your pupils’ critical media literacy skills and (b) a responsive approach that supports pupils’ wellbeing when faced with news of distressing events.
What does the Curriculum and Assessment Review mean for PSHE in my primary school? (KS1-2)
The Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) introduced the biggest changes to the National Curriculum in decades. And while PSHE education – though mostly compulsory – falls outside the National Curriculum, there are big implications for the subject. This includes what the welcome strengthening of Citizenship education means when it comes to related PSHE content. This workshop will explore the distinct, but complementary, role that PSHE education and Citizenship play in relation to key topics such as financial education, media literacy and climate change. You will gain practical tips and advice that support your planning and ensure that cross-curricular links enhance – but don’t duplicate – PSHE learning.
