Our PSHE boxes encourage discussion and support topics such as relationships, wellbeing, and diversity.

How it works

Each box contains a mix of fiction and non-fiction books for reading aloud, sharing, and stimulating discussion.

Boxes are designed to complement the Jigsaw scheme of work, which takes a mindful, child-centred approach.
