Feedback from teachers on this course

"After attending the PSHE INSET, I was able to critically evaluate our school's PSHE provision with a new lens. The insights into Ofsted's expectations and the practical case studies presented were eye-opening. We've since revamped our curriculum to ensure it's not only compliant with statutory requirements but is also engaging and impactful for our students. This training provided the direction we needed to elevate our PSHE education to a level that we're not just ready for Ofsted but are truly making a difference in our students' lives."
