Sex and relationship education, healthy lifestyles and financial capability at key stages 1 to 4

The new units on these pages contain activities to help teachers deliver aspects of the PSHE (personal, social and economic health) non-statutory frameworks at all key stages.

The units are not a scheme of work, but could be used as part of a wider programme of training and support or to enhance a school's existing scheme of work.

The content is based on some of the relevant aspects of the non-statutory frameworks for PSHE education and citizenship at key stages 1 and 2 and the non-statutory frameworks for PSHE at key stages 3 and 4. Links with other subject areas are also made.

The new units are divided into three groups: sex and relationship education (SRE), healthy lifestyles (which covers aspects of physical, social and emotional health) and financial capability.

Guidance for delivery of the units and a PSHE programme of work is provided in the Teacher's handbook, which can be downloaded from this page.

From this page you can also access the DfES website, the Teachernet website and the Wired for health website, which all contain useful information for teaching PSHE.

Drug, alcohol and tobacco education at key stages 1 to 4

Guidance for drug, alcohol and tobacco education was published by QCA in 2003. These units, and the accompanying Teacher's handbook, can be downloaded from these pages.
