Year 6 Unit 1 - Drugs and Alcohol (Health and Wellbeing)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in this Year 6 unit, which builds on students’ prior learning to deepen their understanding of legal and illegal drugs, their effects, and their safety implications.

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum. This bundle offers flexibility for educators, providing the option to select individual lessons or mini-units rather than committing to a full scheme. Free, detailed schemes of work that are aligned to this unit are available here.
