Human Values Foundation

We have the key words for each week displayed around the school so that the children and adults all know the theme for the week. We are very impressed with the variety of resource materials available which have been used throughout the school for ages 5-11 and we find them very adaptable for the different year groups. We are particularly pleased because they are non-denominational and fit in well with the PSHE curriculum.

The programme is proving to be very popular with children, teachers and parents and because we let parents know what lesson we are taking, we know that some take the opportunity to re-emphasise the lessons at home. The CDs also proved very popular with the music co-ordinator and have given our assemblies an extra buzz.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending Education in Human Values. We think it is excellent. The children enjoy the lessons and find them relevant to their lives. They also enjoy the songs, which act as a strong reinforcement. The teachers like the structured but flexible format. There is a tremendous need for materials like this. Following this scheme can change children's outlook. If all schools adopted this scheme, we could, in time, change society.

The themes are extremely relevant and dovetail easily with existing practices but this has given a joint focus to both PSHE and collective worship. As a school we very much believe in a strong moral code and the five human values communicate this brilliantly. I can thoroughly recommend the progamme

The course has been written by an experienced teacher… it is excellent. The materials are well planned and easily accessed by busy teachers.

I realised my expectations of having a complete PSHE package with detailed weekly lesson plans was probably too much to expect and promptly returned several very expensive programmes, very disappointed. On receipt of your Education in Human Values, I was very pleasantly surprised to find such a comprehensive resource, that has far more material than I could have expected. Everything that is needed is included and there is scope to use it right across Key stages, not only in lessons but assemblies and other related areas as well. Thank you once again, for enabling me to have a good summer holiday and not making up endless PSHE lessons from numerous other sources.

I began to utilise some of the ideas from the EHV programme in order to help children with social and behavioural difficulties, which prevented them from achieving their potential in the 'normal' classroom setting. The class took to the EHV programme straight away and we began our work together. Our class motto was, “Be the best person that you can be”. There was such a positive change in their attitudes towards their work, to each other and to the wider community that from then onwards, I decided to try to involve the whole school in EHV. We made great strides promoting good behaviour throughout the next two years. We were asked to attend a conference in our county and we took eight children to meet one hundred and forty advisers, to tell them how it had all been achieved. Two of the children from Year 4, who were only eight years old, very ably led the whole conference in a Silent Reflection session, which is an important aspect of both programmes.
