Lesson Plans
We have worked with teachers and pupils to create session plans and information for teachers to deliver Period Education in schools. There are 4 sessions being piloted, 1-3 can be delivered in any subject, session 4 is designed specifically to be delivered in PE to help girls stay active. We are receiving ongoing feedback from pupils and teachers and will continue to update and improve these resources accordingly.
