The Story Project

Primary Programme

Designed by teachers, and rooted in the latest research, our approach puts stories at the heart of PSHE, inspiring the next generation to make healthier choices, now and into adulthood.

How It Works

42 engaging lessons for Reception to Year 6, that build progressively to spark curiosity, foster empathy and develop key wellbeing skills. 

Using our book-led approach, and covering all the statutory PSHE objectives, each year group enjoys 6 units of work linked to a popular, high-quality text.

Complete with training and everything you need to get started, our primary package is easy to implement and has proven impact.
