    1. Promoting Pupil Well-Being Sue Holley NSCoPSE Conference October 2008

    2. Pupil Well-Being Duty on all schools to promote the well-being of their pupils. Well-being defined as the five Every Child Matters (ECM) outcomes: Be healthy Be safe Enjoy and achieve Make a positive contribution Economic well-being

    3. Pupil Well-Being As signalled in the Children’s Plan, draft guidance on the duty to promote well-being now out for consultation Children’s Plan also announced the development of strong school-level indicators that “taken together, will measure a school’s contribution to pupil well-being” Indicators to be reflected in Ofsted’s new inspections framework in 2009

    4. What This Duty Means in Practice Duty not about schools undertaking additional activities but about how to discharge existing functions to better support well-being Concept of schools contributing to all aspects of pupil well-being already well established The duty is about encouraging schools, local authorities and other services/partners to work together to improve the well-being of children and young people

    5. The Well-being Guidance Aim of the guidance is to help schools to understand: What we mean by well-being The school’s role in promoting well-being and what it looks like in practice The support schools should expect from the LA, Children’s Trusts and other partners

    6. The Well-being Guidance: Key Messages A school’s distinctive contribution to well-being continues to be excellent, personalised, teaching and learning But all ECM outcomes are intrinsic to a child’s development Schools cannot operate alone in supporting and promoting pupil well-being. Need to work with, and be supported by, others

    7. School-level indicators to measure well-being (1) Purpose of the indicators is to improve the information available to schools for assessing the well-being issues their pupils face and evaluating their contribution to promoting well-being Ofsted will also use the indicators as evidence of the effectiveness of a school’s contribution to well-being

    8. School-level indicators to measure well-being (2) Indicators will be a combination of quantitative outcomes for each ECM outcome and parent/pupil perceptions of a school’s contribution to well-being So indicators will include, for example, measures of attendance and attainment data plus parent/pupil views on, for example, how good SRE and drugs education is at the school

    9. School-level indicators to measure well-being (3) The indicators will not hold schools to account for outcomes over which they have little or no influence, for example, levels of obesity in schools or teenage pregnancy rates Well-being indicators will not in themselves be inspection judgements They will be evidence to help both schools and Ofsted understand how well a school is promoting well-being

    10. PSHE and Well-being Good PSHE clearly a key outcome of promoting well-being Therefore reflected in the perception survey questions that form part of the school-level indicators Expectation that the duty to promote well-being and the indicators will raise the profile of PSHE in schools The drugs and SRE reviews will also turn the focus onto how schools deliver PSHE

    11. SRE and Drugs Reviews Recommendations will be announced shortly so cannot say too much at present But likely to include making PSHE statutory; improving the skills of teachers; and revising the guidance for schools Ministers will be considering their response carefully So watch this space!
