Year 6 Unit 8 - Sex and Relationships (Relationships)

Our progressive curriculum builds sequentially year-on-year, culminating in this Year 6 unit that deepens students’ understanding of relationships, consent, and family life. Students will explore key concepts such as attraction and crushes, consent and bodily autonomy, starting a family (including sexual intercourse), and the responsibilities of parenting. They will reflect on how relationships and family structures evolve and learn to navigate these changes with respect, empathy, and confidence. 

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. Detailed schemes of work that are aligned to this unit are available in our free planning pack.
