Key stage two encompasses such a broad age range, from years 3, 4 and 5, then up to year 6 when children are almost teenagers, that any scheme of work for PSHE needs to be carefully planned and organised throughout the key stage. This can be made easier when you can use the free teaching resources included here, including lesson plans, resources for teachers, worksheets and loads of great new teaching ideas for PSHE.

How you teach and plan this non-statutory subject is largely up to you or your school, but by the end of the key stage, students should be able to discuss their own self esteem, describe the different beliefs and values that society has, express a broad minded approach to diversity, deal with change successfully (including moving onto secondary school), feel comfortable with their understanding of changes relating to puberty and make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves. They should also be able to demonstrate an understanding of the importance of saving money, and the skills required by employers in the workplace. They should be able to name commonly used illegal drugs, and their effects. Peer pressure and resisting peer pressure is an important topic at this stage. While we don’t promise that we can provide something for all of these outcomes, we are confident that the free resources you find on this page will help with some of them, and save you loads of time with planning and preparation.
