We have so much in store for PSHE Association members this term — from new lesson materials on AI literacy to our regional seminars and updated Planning Framework for Pupils with SEND.
Here’s what to look out for, starting with CPD opportunities:
Last term’s CPD was especially well attended, with over 1,600 of you joining our courses and other live events.
As ever, our Spring Online Conference was a standout highlight, bringing together over 600 PSHE professionals for an immersive half-day of expert keynotes and workshops.
You can now read our full roundup and watch our highlights reel to see the day in action.
Looking ahead to this term, our face-to-face regional PSHE seminars return in June, with dates available across nine locations in England:
London: Thursday 4 June (Central London)
North East: Tuesday 9 June (Newcastle)
East & West Midlands: Wednesday 10 June (Birmingham)
South East: Monday 15 June (Ashford)
South Central: Wednesday 17 June (Portsmouth)
North West: Thursday 18 June (Manchester)
East of England: Tuesday 23 June (Norwich)
Yorkshire & Humber: Thursday 25 June (Leeds)
Each seminar will run from 1:30–5:00pm and bring together PSHE leads from your area for a focused and practical half-day designed to support classroom practice.
During the event, you’ll hear a keynote from us, take part in two practical workshops, explore local data insights, and connect with other local PSHE professionals working in similar contexts to you.
Book your place.
Our live online and face-to-face CPD courses will continue to take place throughout the summer term, offering unparalleled, practical support from the leading experts in PSHE education on key topics and areas of PSHE (including RSHE) delivery.
Each course is designed to fit around schools’ priorities at this busy point in the year, with practical tools, guidance and lesson ideas you can take back to the classroom and your wider team.
Join us in London later this month (22 April) for the cross-phase version of our popular RSHE: Successfully implementing the updated statutory guidance course, which explores the implications of the updated statutory RSHE requirements for schools and provides practical steps to support implementation for September.
You can also join us online at the end of the month (30 April) on our new Tackling divisive online narratives and promoting community cohesion cross-phase course. This 3-hour course will help you identify harmful online narratives, and learn how to manage conflict in school and how to counter division through your PSHE curriculum (including statutory RSHE). You’ll gain practical strategies to support pupils across both primary and secondary phases and strengthen your school culture.
Then next month (7 May) we’re back in London to debut another new course on Embedding mental health into your PSHE curriculum (primary and secondary available). Developed with academics from the University of York, this full-day course gives practical, research-informed approaches to teaching mental health and wellbeing with confidence.
And for School Plus members, we have a new on-demand course to accompany our innovative Wellbeing for Life KS3-4 mental health and wellbeing curriculum. Enrol today and start in your own time!
Our lesson packs this term will help you to address new topic areas from the updated statutory RSHE guidance with confidence.
The updated statutory RSHE requirements reflect the fact that children are increasingly interacting with AI on a daily basis. Our AI literacy programme will introduce different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI), including generative AI, and examine their impact on safety, rights, careers, relationships, and our understanding of the world.
Build pupils’ understanding of how to be active in their daily lives, as well as how to overcome barriers and negative influences that might prevent someone from being physically active.
Developed with support from academics at the University of York, these lessons will explore the impact of misogyny, and ways to limit the spread of misogynistic misconceptions, beliefs and attitudes.
This lesson for key stage 1 pupils will explore who helps to keep children safe, how to get help from an adult, and what to do in an emergency, including how to call 999.
Secondary colleagues can also now access our Healthy relationships and sexual health' (KS3-4), and Puberty (year 7-8) lesson packs later this week.
Following the recent launch of our 2026 Programme of Study and new Curriculum Models, we’re excited to bring you an updated version of our Planning Framework for pupils with SEND later in the summer term.
We're engaging with feedback from special schools at the moment to get their views on the draft 2026 framework, ensuring it meets the needs of teachers and pupils alike.
There's also a new lesson plan for our Understanding deepfakes and manipulated images pack, coming later this term — designed specifically for pupils with SEND.
