What is PSHE with Leena & Zach?

PSHE with Leena & Zach is a multi-part series of audio-led lessons where pupils follow two contrasting friends through everyday situations and challenges.

The series covers topics such as mental health, bullying, and online safety.  The stories are designed to give pupils a shared, relatable context so they can reflect on what’s happening, talk about it safely as a class, and explore different choices and outcomes.

Each episode is around 5 minutes long and sits within a 45-minute lesson. 

Lessons typically include time for listening and acting, discussion, and follow-up activities to help pupils recognise emotions, practise empathy, and think about safer choices in real life.

There are no headphones needed, and the children act out the audio episode from their desks.

PSHE with Leena & Zach can boost your existing scheme of work.  It’s also effectively deployed as intervention work or with nurture groups.
