Using the resources
The PGW resources are mapped against both the English and Welsh curricula. In England, the resources cover the entire PSHE and RSE specifications. In Wales, the resources meet all strands of the Health and Wellbeing AoLE, as well as the PSE and RSE specifications. The resources also support transition to the upcoming 2027 Skills Suite.
​
The PGW resources can be delivered through allocated PS(H)E time, core subjects (including Maths and Science), or even in option blocks. The resources are available in two different formats: either as a physical set of workbooks or as an online course; two different languages: Welsh and English; and two different levels: 1 and 2.
​
The resources can be used by all L1 and L2 learners, no matter their background, circumstances or type of educational provision. Learning outcomes can also be evidenced in alternative formats.
Qualification sizes
The Personal Growth and Wellbeing qualification can be delivered at different levels and sizes. Centres can choose which size and level of qualification they would like to deliver depending on the amount of time they have to complete the qualification and the ability of their learners.
