Recommendation 17

17 Paragraph: 82

Ofsted's current personal development metric inadequately evaluates broad PSHE curriculum content.

Conclusion
We welcome inspections of PSHE as part of a routine Ofsted inspection. However, a subject as broad as PSHE, which covers so many different topics including digital literacy, cannot be adequately evaluated solely within the current personal development metric.
