Latest FOCUS Magazine
Welcome to the latest edition of FOCUS, where we explore the challenges and opportunities shaping personal development in schools today. This issue offers insight and practical guidance for RSHE leads, RSHE coordinators and senior leaders working to deliver meaningful impact.
In this edition, we reflect on what’s often missing from traditional measures of progress in What My School Reports Forgot to Say, and share a powerful message to policymakers in Dear DfE - highlighting that guidance alone is not enough without teacher confidence. We also explore key questions facing schools, from when to teach sensitive topics to the true cost of “DIY RSHE”.
With September 2026 approaching, we provide clear guidance on preparing for statutory changes, alongside insights into AI in RSHE, SEND investment and curriculum flexibility.
Alongside this, you’ll find real stories, practical tools and sector updates to support effective, confident delivery.
This edition is designed to help you turn expectation into impact across your school.
