FACE UP and the new Ofsted judgement headings September 2015 Why and how does Face Up help as evidence for the new Ofsted judgement headings? Face Up is a resource that can be used as a whole school approach in addressing the new Ofsted judgement of personal development, behaviour and welfare.

New judgement headings Inspectors will make four key judgements, one of which is: Personal development, behaviour and welfare Face Up encompasses the personal development of young people, acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in addition to the role of the bystander and their actions. The welfare of themselves, their friends and their peers is a key message that is explored throughout the modules.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare A key focus on pupils’ self-confidence and self-awareness, and their understanding about how to be successful learners Face Up allows pupils to reflect on feelings and identify positive ways of understanding, managing and expressing emotions and gain the skills to challenge inappropriate behaviour whilst building their self-confidence and raising their self-awareness.

Personal development, behaviour and welfare Physical and emotional well-being, including healthy eating, fitness and mental health awareness

There is a close correlation between the grades that schools in the survey were awarded for overall effectiveness in their last section 5 inspection, and their grade for PSHCE. All but two of the schools graded outstanding at their last section 5 inspection were also graded outstanding for PSHCE education and nine were less than good. Findings of Ofsted’s 2013 PSHCE survey Face Up can be embedded into the PSHCE curriculum and can be adapted according to whatever timetable constraints schools have. The variety of activities and exercises allow for outstanding PSHCE lessons.

This fits well with the findings of a 2012 DfE report which states that: “Children with higher levels of emotional, behavioural, social and school well-being on average have higher levels of academic achievement and are more engaged in school, both concurrently and in later years.” Face Up is an effective tool that that allows pupils to gain an understanding of healthy teenage relationships, whilst also supporting academic attainment. Face Up includes a wide range of spoken language, listening and creative writing activities that are capable of being assessed within English lessons and are mapped to the curriculum; these include debating, role play, and storyboards and all exercises can be tailored to suit the needs of individual groups

Good personal development The school’s open culture promotes all aspects of pupils’ welfare. Pupils are safe and feel safe. They have opportunities to learn how to keep themselves safe. They enjoy learning about how to stay healthy and about emotional and mental health, safe and positive relationships and how to prevent misuse of technology. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development ensures that they are prepared to be reflective about and responsible for their actions as good citizens. The Face Up programme uses a collaborative learning approach which provides an opportunity for pupils to explore teenage relationships and to use the knowledge and understanding gained to make informed choices in the future. The exercises and activities allow opportunities to discuss how to keep themselves safe and to identify what makes a positive relationship. Video exercises focus on the role of the bystander developing skills and encouraging students to reflect on their responsibilities as a good citizen.

One example exercise is Ask Emma, where Emma receives problem e-mails from six young people expressing an issue about their relationship.  The aim of the activity is to get young people to discuss how to answer the e-mails.  They can then click and listen to Emma's response, after discussing it themselves.

Key messages Importance of safeguarding as a golden thread throughout all judgements. Controlling behaviour is a range of acts designed to make a person subordinate and/or dependent by isolating them from sources of support and depriving them of the means needed for independence. The video exercises depict examples of this and encourage students to develop the skills to identify this and learn how to safeguard themselves.

Effectiveness of leadership and management Increased emphasis on: ensuring that safeguarding arrangements to protect pupils meet statutory requirements, promote their welfare. Face Up in the curriculum encompasses the values and attitudes of safeguarding within a school.

Good leadership Leaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity, resulting in a positive school culture. Staff and pupils work together to prevent any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour. Leaders, staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviour. Staff are trained and are increasingly vigilant, confident and competent to encourage open discussion with pupils. Contrary to bullying, young people might be more reluctant to reveal dating relationship issues and especially abuse to their parents. Face Up encourages a safe forum for open discussion and education that prejudiced behaviour is not tolerated.
