These lesson packs will help your pupils to make and maintain respectful friendships, manage any friendship challenges that arise, and identify and safely respond to bullying incidents. 

At EYFS, support learning in the reception classroom in the prime area of personal, social and emotional development (PSED) as part of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.

We’ve structured our first ever EYFS activity pack slightly differently to our materials for other key stages. See what's new.

At key stage 1 (three lessons), pupils learn about making friends, kindness, how to manage falling out, and what to do if they witness unkind behaviour.

At key stage 2 (six lessons), pupils learn about: the value of friendships, overcoming challenges and how to respond to bullying behaviour, in Year 3/4. And about: including others, communicating respectfully, the impact of bullying and how to seek support, in Year 5/6.

At key stage 3 (four lessons), pupils learn how to maintain positive friendships, develop empathy, and prevent or challenge bullying. They also explore friendship challenges and ways to resolve them; and learn about similarities and differences between people.

At key stage 4 (two lessons), pupils learn: how to recognise and challenge bullying in a range of contexts; about challenging unhealthy attitudes towards bullying; and, where to seek support.

 Each lesson pack includes:

• Lesson plans (available as both PDFs and PowerPoints)
• Engaging pupil-facing materials
• Teacher guidance on how to teach these topics safely and effectively
