Free Training to primary/secondary transitions school staff with a responsibility for delivering PSHE.

As a result of the success of PSHE training rolled out across Devon from November 2018 to March 2019 to secondary school staff and in line with the introduction of mandatory elements of PSHE in 2020, Devon want to be ahead of the curve.

We have decided to offer a set of courses for those who are working in the primary schools with transitions years students (years 6-7).

This is a partnership approach, designed to promote confident delivery of PSHE and RSE and put schools in touch with their local experts.
