Year 6 Unit 5 - Conception and Puberty (Health and Wellbeing)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in this Year 6 unit that builds on students’ prior learning to deepen their understanding of puberty, conception, and reproduction within the context of the human life cycle. Please note that this lesson bundle does not include teaching about sexual intercourse.  

Each lesson is fully editable and compliant with DfE and PSHE Association guidelines, ensuring ease of integration into your chosen curriculum.
