WSA Curriculum, Teaching & Learning
Key question: What focus is given within the curriculum to social and emotional learning and promoting personal resilience, and how is learning assessed?
- Understanding need / listening to YP voice to help inform the curriculum
- Implementation of statutory PSHE framework
- Supporting all C&YP to understand neuroscience / brain development
- identify opportunities across the curriculum (and in extra-curricular activities) for SEL
- Social & Emotional Learning: Self-care / help-seeking / self-soothing strategies
- How to survive and thrive online
- understanding and assessing risk and safety
- building resilience - confidence, self-esteem, problem solving skills.

PSHE Programme for Schools in Cornwall
Headstart Kernow are delighted to be working with Public Health and Education Effectiveness to support the refreshed and updated PSHE Programme for schools in Cornwall which will support the integration and development of a broad and comprehensive PSHE curriculum.
The programme aligned to the statutory guidance for Primary, Secondary and Further Education, adaptable to suit differing school needs and free to all Cornwall’s schools, this programme has been developed by Brook courtesy of funding from Cornwall Council and NHS England.
Headstart Kernow helped develop the programme content to ensure links with a trauma-informed approach, the whole school approach and our work with Parents and carers.
Cornwall Council have been working with Brook Learn to refresh and update the content of our PSHE programme. Part of the update has been to create a single enrolment key rather than individual school logins.
You can find the enrolment key on the PSHE page of the Services for Schools website (log in required). or contact us to request the details
