Who are Leena & Zach?

Real Characters, Real PSHE Impact

In a PSHE with Leena and Zach Lesson, pupils step into the shoes of either Leena or Zach as they navigate real-life challenges around mental health, bullying and online safety.

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

Meet Leena

Leena loves dancing, bright colours and loud clothes. She’s impulsive and if she’s feeling something, you’ll know about it. She and her sisters are brought up by their Grandad in their ground-floor flat.

Meet Zach

Zach’s introspective, sensitive, an over-preparer. He hates itchy labels and loves MagicQuest, his favourite fantasy game. He lives in a suburban house with his Mum and his stepdad, Stephen.

The contrasting personalities and diverse family situations of Leena and Zach ensure that PSHE topics resonate with the widest range of pupils, fostering deeper understanding and relevance for every child.
