I cannot wait to launch this brand new #onesizefitsyou quality mark for #personaldevelopment and #pshe in September. Available to all schools in Lancashire and beyond. It would be a fantastic way to focus your #sportspremium funding to drive progress in school.

The teaching of PSHE needs careful planning – it shouldn’t be swayed by knee-jerk reactions to issues that grab headlines in the media, such as the debate over TV’s #Adolescence, writes @CLVCooper

We can teach about boundaries, consent, misogyny with careful thought and consideration of our young people. I’ve used this to provoke thought without 4 hrs of #AdolescenceNetflix

[Jen Macdonald @JenMac1472]

@GMB Our National Body for PSHE @PSHEassociation has released clear guidance about #AdolescenceNetflix in schools. It is rated 15 and (IMO) teaches adults more than it does the children. Educating parents on how to keep their children safe online is the gap-not RSE lessons.

@Positivteacha I don’t think anything should be a blanket “must do” with sensitive topics like this. The @PSHEassociation have released a comprehensive statement on this too echoing similar points. You make some great points - it’s a concern! 😕

@LancsAssessment @lancslpds @rach_brown1 What a fantastic talk it was!! Those girls “put their big girl pants on” and asked some incredible questions too.

Jen Macdonald thanks the children at Royal Cross Primary School for their amazing Lancashire Renewables walkway, part of the Lancashire Learning for Life challenge. They also created a 3D model of a refuse truck for the new classroom. WELL DONE to all.
