Life Lessons for Primary

Inspiring PSHE for Key Stages 1 & 2

Empower your pupils with essential life skills, emotional literacy, and confidence through our fully inclusive, story-led PSHE programme designed specifically for primary schools.

What Makes Life Lessons for Primary Unique?

Whole-School Inclusivity

Designed to support every child, with built-in accessibility features and a preventative, positive approach.

SEND Friendly

Lessons are working towards WCAG 2.2 compliance with differentiated scaffolding to ensure all learners can participate meaningfully.

Emotional Literacy First

Pupils build a deep understanding of their feelings with help from our vibrant cast of characters representing emotions like Joy, Anger, Confusion, and more—aligned with the Zones of Regulation.

Skill-Focused & Reflective

From empathy and critical thinking to self-worth and personal boundaries, each lesson develops life-ready skills.

Digital Safety from Year 1

Instilling safe online habits early, supported by peer-led videos that are relatable, diverse, and fun. Online lessons are inline with the lived experience of the digital world, beyond the statutory guidance.
