GHLL Training programme

                     This interactive CPD session shares the implementation, and outcomes, of GHLL’s positive playtimes practice. With the introduction of zoned playgrounds, that directly link to the ‘5 ways of wellbeing’, incidents of isolation and poor behaviour have dropped dramatically. These zones not only provide a wellbeing boost for all pupils, but also through planning with the midday supervisors, enable more vulnerable pupils to get targeted boosts in their specific areas of need. This Positive Playgrounds practice not only gives schools the tools to target pupils who need wellbeing boosts, but also shares what wellbeing is, why it is important and how to assess the wellbeing impact you currently have on your pupils.

Get ready to connect, be active, know yourselves, learn something new and give your time!

Following on from the publishing of our FREE Planning and Resource Pack for Relationships and Sex Education, we are offering a half day training session to provide teachers with the knowledge and confidence to plan and deliver a progressive programme of RSE across the primary age range.

Led by GHLL Lead Teachers, the session will cover:

*Current statutory requirements for RSE, including policies and curriculum

*Understanding the importance of good RSE teaching

*Clear guidance for good classroom practice, including ideas for activities

*Suggestions for dealing with awkward questions, setting ground rules and managing parental concerns

If your setting has already collected their new RSE Resource please bring it with you. Alternatively if it has not been collected, please let us know when booking so we can make sure it is there for you on the day.

Relationships and sex education (RSE) should be delivered by competent and confident educators.

This new resource has been written and collated by lead teachers from GHLL and a specialist sexual health nurse. It is suitable for Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

GHLL offers this course for delivery of Secondary RSE to support the continued professional development (CPD) of teachers, PSHE leads, school nurses, youth workers and others involved in teaching RSE and providing one-to-one advice to children and young people.

The training shows guidelines in what to deliver in the Secondary RSE programme, sample lessons, some resources available, useful links, and PowerPoints. Also, guidance on how to deal with sensitive issues.

The course will take staff through the resource showing how it can be used by new staff in it’s entirety or as a pick and mix for those with more experience who want information and resources for a specific area.

It will allow staff to deliver the RSE programme with confidence. It will also give suggestions on the essential RSE polices and information to parents.
