Planning PSHE education

Everything you need to plan effective PSHE education, including all statutory RSHE content

About the PSHE education curriculum

The PSHE education curriculum covers all statutory RSHE (relationships, sex and health education) content as well as careers and personal financial education. The most effective delivery model is a sequenced, spiral curriculum that builds on prior learning as pupils progress through school. And like any other school curriculum subject, PSHE needs regular curriculum time – ideally an hour a week at least – and careful consideration when planning.

Use our curriculum planning tools and lesson plans together to design a curriculum that works best for you, your school and your pupils.
