SMSC has been strengthened in the new OfSTED Framework . Personal, social and health education (PSHE) and citizenship will still have subject inspections but will also be inspected through the lens of SMSC.
This means that you need to be clear where and how
PSHE and citizenship are happening in your school. Out of over 50 OfSTED inspections that have taken place since the introduction of the new Framework inspectors have been very interested in the delivery of PDL! There is a half-day
SMSC course happening on
9 November 2012 – to sign-up please contact Caroline Cain on:

Online forms
Over 30 schools have now used the nationally available Whole School
Review template to summit their work via e-mailed attachment for quality assurance in reaching Hampshire
Healthy Schools Status . Some schools are also working on the next step, the
Hampshire Healthy Schools Challenge
Award where they will report the achievement of their measurable outcomes on the school story template in readiness for the quality assurance process.
Both these templates have now been put online at the Hampshire County
Council website. During the summer, a series of testing and refinements has led to the creation of detailed instructions for schools on how to use both these online forms. The online submission process will be officially launched in mid October, with details being provided at the
October PDL/Healthy Schools network meetings and via the local Hampshire
Healthy Schools website: www.hants.gov.uk/healthyschools .
In the meantime, schools can still download the national templates and toolkit from the Department for
Education website: www.education.gov.uk/healthyschools and use these to gather the relevant information in one place ready for uploading to the online forms.
For schools new to the Healthy Schools process in general or where a coordinator has been replaced, we have created a one day course called Back to basics with Healthy Schools . This course will be held on 11 October 2012 and again on 7 February 2013. If you would like to attend or send someone else on the training, please contact
Audrey Whiting on:
E-mail: audrey.whiting@hants.gov.uk
It is time to sign up to enter the Rock
Challenge events for next year. Go onto the website to find out about all the benefits of taking part and to register: www.rockchallenge.co.uk

NHS Hampshire has contracted Mind,
Exercise, Nutrition…Do it! (MEND) to provide family weight management programmes from September 2012 to
December 2013.
These programmes are for overweight or very overweight children aged 5 – 7 or
7 – 13 and their parents/carers. These free, fun 10 week programmes cover healthy eating, physical activity and changing behaviour. 16 programmes will be delivered across Hampshire in the next few months.
When Year R and Year 6 pupils are measured by schools nursing teams each year as part of the National Child
Measurement Programme (NCMP), parents/carers receive a feedback letter with information about their child’s weight status. This year those letters will contain details about MEND for families where children are above a healthy weight.
GPs and school nursing teams will be referring families directly via the MEND website: www.mendcentral.org
.
Parents/carers can also self-refer via the website so they do not need to wait for their NCMP letter if they have concerns about their child’s weight.

A wonderful resource which takes the
2012 Olympics as its inspiration to challenge young people. Eleanor
Jakeman is carrying out an evaluation of the resource and a questionnaire has gone into school. We hope you had lots of things going on around the Olympics and you found the resource useful.
Please complete the questionnaire and return to Eleanor as soon as possible.
Those of you who attended the last network meetings will know we have had a project going on in Hampshire. All the resources are will soon be available on the Hampshire Healthy Schools website, under the theme Healthy eating : www.hants.gov.uk/education/hias/health yschools.htm

Some of you are already making good use of the NHS Hampshire Resources and Campaigns Centre, to order and borrow a wide range of great resources.
For those of you who have yet to discover this Aladdin’s cave of PSHE resources, you can go onto the website and register. The resources will be delivered to your school via the courier. www.healthresources.hantspct.nhs.uk
.
This free resource, which went into schools a few months ago, provides an excellent vehicle for recording young people’s achievements – within and beyond the schools, setting targets and reviewing progress. It provides superb support through transition and is an invaluable addition to a careers programme. Please seek it out and trial it in your school.
