2 Evidence of pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development can be found, for example, where pupils: are reflective about beliefs, values and more profound aspects of human experience, using their imagination and creativity, and developing curiosity in their learning develop and apply an understanding of right and wrong in their school life and life outside school take part in a range of activities requiring social skills develop awareness of and respect for diversity in relation to, for example, gender, race, religion and belief, culture, sexual orientation and disability gain a well-informed understanding of the options and challenges facing them as they move through the school and on to the next stage of their education and training develop an appreciation of theatre, music, art and literature develop the skills and attitudes to enable them to participate fully and positively in democratic modern Britain respond positively to a range of artistic, sporting and other cultural opportunities understand and appreciate the range of different cultures within school and further afield as an essential element of their preparation for life D&T Produce something to a standard which gives a real sense of achievement PE Discuss issues such as racism, logos, sporting heroes Science Explore the impact of science on the environment and people s livelihoods RE Explore the difference between intuition, analysis, revelation and belief Maths Investigate moral issues relating to money and wealth - Sep 2012 PSHE Know how to say and to respect No in relationships Drama Perform mystical and fanciful stories English Explore the way different genders are portrayed in literature MfL Develop your own confidence to communicate in another country History Explore issues of human suffering caused by war and man s inhumanity to man Geography Reflect upon the power of nature Art Learn to use art to challenge people s understanding of society Pupil Council Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different voting systems Music Explore how music expresses and generates feelings such as joy and fear Award Systems Learn to value and enjoy the achievements of others and themselves Spiritual, Moral, Social, Cultural Development Whilst whole school assemblies and acts of collective worship are important in developing understanding of SMSC, SMSC development is a key part of every child s education and as such is the responsibility of every adult in the school. This document is particularly designed to support you as classroom teachers regardless of which subjects you teach. It is the remit of the document to give only a brief overview to help you. It is worth remembering that the most important factors in teaching good SMSC are: Modelling good practice in your relationships, activities and experiences with pupils and other adults Politely but firmly challenging unacceptable behaviour in both pupils and adults Overleaf is a chart showing how the and descriptions of SMSC are linked together. On the final page of this document is the evidence that may look for, together with some suggestions as to how SMSC can be developed in the classroom. Whilst recognising the value and complexity of teaching moral, social and cultural aspects of the curriculum, spiritual development is often the hardest aspect to teach and therefore further information is given on this page. Although people often confuse spirituality and religion, they are not one and the same, particularly within the / framework which is shown overleaf. As Richard Dawkins says in his book Unweaving the Rainbow, we all have an "appetite for wonder. Spirituality fits well into all subjects as well as into RE. Spiritual Development Whilst it is easy to say that the school s strategy is to develop pupils spirituality, what does this look like in reality? The principle characteristics or qualities of the concept of spirituality are a search for meaning or truth, experience which affects the core of one s being and developing positive relationships. Every subject within the curriculum can and should offer spiritually meaningful experiences. Part of spiritual development is critical reflection of inner feelings and experiences both one s own and those of other people. Those of other people include the insights of famous people about their spiritual experiences. One of the many challenges for teachers is how to address sensitive and difficult issues and topics such as illness and death. Also challenging are the big questions of life which involve the why rather than the what and the how e.g. Who am I? Why do I exist? etc. Discussing issues like these are an important aspect of a child s education. As teachers you should focus on: Creating the circumstances in which spiritual development may take place e.g. creating a safe, encouraging and respectful environment where thoughts feelings and insights can be expressed without ridicule Understanding and knowing how to reduce the factors that limit a pupil s ability to experience spirituality e.g. fear, narrow mindedness, resistance to change etc. Ensuring respect for those who do and do not have religious beliefs Knowing what experiences within their subject area are likely to create deep positive emotional responses Knowing how to orchestrate those experiences to obtain maximum spiritual benefit; think about what works for you. Frequent triggers are natural beauty, rich descriptions, art, music, dance, sport, yoga, moments of utter peace, conflict, kindness and human togetherness Sharing your own understanding of your own experiences e.g. what inspires you; what motivates you; what you find awesome; when emotions like beauty or sorrow touch the core of your being Remembering that both children and adults have a right to privacy. People should only share what they are comfortable sharing It is worthwhile working as a group to examine your schemes of work for rich opportunities to do this. Your pupils deserve the experience. Social Responsibility (All subjects) Pupils experience the benefits and nature of altruistic actions Spiritual (All) Explore and celebrate the unity and diversity of the human response to magnificence and difficulties For further information please contact: jane.thompson@bolton.gov.uk Educational Improvement, BSTC
3 PSHE education and the new Inspection Framework January 2012 Behaviour and safety, and Spiritual, Moral, Social andcultural development: a context for PSHE education This briefing is intended for PSHE education co-ordinators, subject leads, teachers, school leaders and governors. There will be a stronger emphasis on lessons under the new arrangements for inspection. It is therefore likely that PSHE education lessons will be inspected. Additionally there will be 60 subject inspections annually of PSHE education by. Teachers also need to be aware of the strong focus upon pupils literacy capability. The revised Framework and Evaluation Schedules for the inspection of maintained schools and academies respectively set out the general principles, guidance and grade descriptors that will be used by inspectors as they make judgements and report under section 5 of the Education Act from January Inspection will focus on four key judgements: Achievement. Quality of teaching. Behaviour and safety of pupils. Quality of leadership and management. Together with spiritual, moral, social and cultural education (SMSC) these will contribute to the judgement about the Overall Effectiveness of the school. Introduction PSHE education teaching is expected to meet the same high standards required by of all subjects and teaching. Teachers must have consistently high expectations of all pupils, draw on excellent subject knowledge, plan astutely, set challenging tasks based upon an accurate assessment of pupils prior skills, knowledge and understanding, and use well judged and imaginative teaching strategies... The Framework is clear in stating that: The most important role of teaching is to raise achievement. Teaching has an important role in promoting the pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Inspections must consider: Pupils behaviour towards, and respect for, other young people and adults, including freedom from bullying and harassment, cyber bullying and prejudice-based bullying. The focus on behaviour will also include pupils attitudes to learning, their conduct in lessons and around school. Pupils ability to assess and manage risk appropriately and keep themselves safe. Risk includes those risks associated with extremism, new technology, substance misuse, knives and gangs, relationships (including sexual relationships) water, fire, roads and railways. Whether the school provides a broad and balanced curriculum that www. pshe- association. org. uk
4 promotes their good behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Whether the school engages with parents in supporting pupil achievement, behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. In respect of Overall Effectiveness inspections must consider: How well the school provides positive experiences for all pupils by promoting pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through planned and coherent opportunities in the curriculum and through interactions with teachers and other adults. PSHE education Behaviour and safety of pupils A well-planned, coherent and effective PSHE education programme will provide concrete evidence of the school s provision in promoting pupils behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. It may also provide evidence of the impact of this on achievement and on developing and applying a wide range of skills that will prepare pupils for the next stage in their education or employment drawing on excellent subject knowledge, promoting resilience, confidence and independence. Inspection will focus upon pupils participation in lessons; the development of behaviour for learning skills; and the contribution to literacy though speaking and listening, being able to articulate thinking, reading writing and communicating. The development of vocabulary, understanding text and dialogue and the ability to write descriptively will be judged as important in PSHE education too. Therefore, it follows that in PSHE education pupils will need opportunities to apply their phonic knowledge in purposeful reading and writing activities; to speak and to listen; to write for audiences using correct grammar and spelling; and produce pieces of extended writing. In the guidance there is much of relevance to the PSHE education teacher. www. p sh e- a ssoc i a t i on. org. u k Inspectors will evaluate the behaviour and safety of pupils and their behaviour towards, and respect for, other young people and adults. This includes: Freedom from bullying and harassment that may include cyber-bullying and prejudice-based bullying related to special educational need, sexual orientation, sex, race, religion and belief, gender reassignment or disability, and: Pupils ability to assess and manage risk and keep themselves safe. In order to be judged outstanding (Grade 1): Pupils will be acutely aware of different forms of bullying and actively try to prevent it from occurring. The school will have an active and highly effective approach to identifying and tackling bullying. All groups of pupils feel safe at school all time. Pupils understand very clearly what constitutes unsafe situations and are highly aware of how to keep themselves and others safe. Behaviour and safety is likely to be judged inadequate (Grade 4) if pupils have little confidence in the school s ability to address bullying successfully and pupils, or specific groups of pupils, do not feel safe. An effective PSHE education curriculum will provide evidence of the above through developing an understanding of: Health: How to maintain physical, mental and emotional health including sexual health. Understand the consequences of teenage pregnancy and parenthood. How to manage risks to health and to stay safe (including online safety). How to make informed choices about health matters including drugs, alcohol and tobacco, and maintaining a balanced diet. How to respond in an emergency including administering first aid. The role and influence of the media on lifestyle. Relationships: How to develop and maintain a variety of healthy relationships, within a range of social/cultural contexts and to develop parenting skills. How to deal with risky or negative relationships including all forms of bullying and abuse, sexual and other violence and including sexual consent. Managing loss including bereavement, separation and divorce. How to respect equality and be a productive member of a diverse community.
5 Careers and the world of work: How to manage transition. How to make informed choices and be enterprising and ambitious. How to develop employability, team working and leadership skills and develop flexibility and resilience. The economic and business environment. Personal finance: Where money comes from and how to manage personal money (understanding its link with public finance). Budgeting, saving and borrowing and managing debt. Managing financial risk (both positive and negative) including its relationship to gambling. How our personal financial choices can affect others and about our rights and responsibilities as consumers. Knowledge is interlinked and knowledge from one area may be pertinent to others. School policies will include those relating to PSHE education, pastoral care, behaviour and discipline, safeguarding, anti-bullying, drugs, sex and relationships education, work experience, careers and work related learning, anti-racism, and equal opportunities including disability rights, health and safety. The value of an effective pupil voice will be demonstrated though a range of activities including a school/student council which engages fully with pupils of all ages and is taken seriously by the leadership and management at the school. Quality of leadership and management Inspectors will evaluate the extent to which leaders and managers at all levels (and where relevant governors): Provide a broad balanced curriculum meeting the needs of all pupils. Promote their good behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Engage with parents and carers in supporting pupils achievement, behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Ensure that all pupils are safe. Outstanding leadership and management To be judged outstanding for leadership and management (Grade 1) the school s curriculum must: Provide highly positive, memorable experiences and rich opportunities for high quality learning. Have a very positive impact on all pupils behaviour and safety and contribute well to pupils achievement and to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Demonstrate the extent to which leaders engage with parents and carers, and ensure that all pupils are safe. Leadership and management is likely to be inadequate (Grade 4) if the curriculum fails to meet the needs of pupils and the school s arrangements for safeguarding pupils give serious cause for concern. An effective PSHE education curriculum will address the above through leadership and management which: Ensures a broad and balanced curriculum which provides PSHE education for all pupils that meets their need. Has strategies and procedures in place for helping pupils prepare for life in modern democratic Britain and a global society. Works in partnership with external agencies and the community, including business. Manages safeguarding arrangements so that all pupils are safe. Demonstrates how well safe practices and a culture of safety are promoted through the curriculum (PSHE education should be central to this). www. p sh e- a ssoc i a t i on. org. u k
6 Overall effectiveness Inspectors take account of the four key judgments and in addition must consider: How well the school promotes all pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through planned and coherent opportunities in the curriculum, and how well pupils: Develop and apply an understanding of right and wrong in their school life and life outside school. Take part in a range of activities requiring social skills. Gain a well-informed understanding of the options and challenges facing them as they move through the school and on to the next stage of their education and training. Develop the skills and attitudes to enable them to participate fully and positively in democratic modern Britain. A school is likely to be judged outstanding (Grade 1) if the school s thoughtful and wide ranging promotion of the pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development enables them to thrive in a supportive, highly cohesive learning community. Consequently, pupils and groups of pupils have excellent experiences at school, ensuring that they are very well equipped for the next stage of their education, training or employment. Overall Effectiveness will take account of: The achievement of pupils at the school where pupils will develop and apply a wide range of skills to great effect... that will ensure they are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education, training or employment, and the quality of teaching where teachers: have consistently high expectations of all pupils; draw on excellent subject knowledge; plan astutely, set challenging tasks based upon an accurate assessment of pupils prior skills, knowledge and understanding; use well judged and imaginative teaching strategies, and where: teachers systematically check pupils understanding throughout lessons; marking and constructive feedback from teachers and pupils is frequent and of a consistently high quality. A school s Overall Effectiveness will be judged inadequate (Grade 4) if behaviour and safety are inadequate or there are important weaknesses in the school s promotion of pupils spiritual, moral, social and cultural development resulting in a poor climate for learning and a school community that lacks cohesion. For achievement this will be demonstrated through pupils poor communication skills not being sufficient for the next stage of education or training, and for teaching: teachers not having sufficiently high expectations. Self-evaluation no longer provides an on-line self-evaluation form (SEF) or any associated guidance. Schools are no longer expected to complete a SEF, though inspectors will take account of any summary of self-evaluation evidence on anything the school chooses to present. Many schools are re-organising their evaluation to mirror the four judgements. A self-evaluation of PSHE education (available here from the PSHE Association website: can provide much evidence for the provision for achievement; quality of teaching; behaviour and safety; as well as evidence of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development as each of these relates to the PSHE education curriculum in schools. However, it is important to note that PSHE education will not be the sole provision in school for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils or their personal development overall. the evaluation schedule for the inspection of maintained schools and academies from January 2012: supplementary subject specific guidance for PSHE education: www. p sh e- a ssoc i a t i on. org. u k
