For Schools
Sex and relationship education resources & presentations for schools
Our school resources have been prepared for different school years.
The resources cover a range of topics including relationships, marriage & sex, abortion and pornography. They have been prepared in different formats for different class situations. Some resources use DVD clips as discussion starters, but more often come in the form of slide presentations. Some of our presentations are now available online, others are currently on CD or DVD, but we are aware that an increasing number of schools are no longer using devices with optical disc readers, and we are working on updating our resources in an alternative format. Please contact us if you would like us to provide one of our resources as a digital file.
All the resources have suggested scripts, sometimes included in an separate teacher‘s guide (enclosed with the resource) and other times within the presentation itself. Many of our resources also include printable worksheets and other additional material to complement the lessons.
Lovewise in RE
The Christian perspective of our resources means that any of them may be suitable for use in RE lessons to cover subjects such as responsibility in relationships and how young people can wisely prepare for marriage and family life.
Our DVD ‘MARRIAGE’ has been especially designed for use in the classroom at Key Stage 4 and includes a teacher’s resource book with suggestions for classroom activities.
The dangers of pornography can be addressed through our free to access online resource ‘Pornography – dangers & decisions’ prepared for pupils aged 13+.
The ethical dimensions of abortion can be examined with the help of our online resource ‘The facts about Abortion’ prepared for pupils aged 13+.
Lovewise in RSE/PSHE
All our resources cover subjects of every day concern to young people and will help teachers to address these subjects in an accurate and engaging way.
Marriage, Sex & Living Wisely is our RSE resource for teachers of secondary school pupils (suggested age 13-16). Recently revised and updated, it is now free to access and web-based and comes with teachers’ notes and downloadable worksheets included. Comprising six modules about marriage and the benefits of saving sex for marriage, it help students make good choices in their relationships. The 6 modules cover various aspects of the Statutory Guidance for Relationships and Sex Education (RSE): Secondary, particularly supporting teaching on ‘Families’ and ‘Intimate and sexual relationships including sexual health’.

Another presentation we have for this age-group is ‘growing up…growing wise’. This is a four-lesson presentation for primary schools written from a Christian perspective. It is designed to teach children about friendship, puberty, love and marriage. This resource discusses what puberty is, why it happens and the physical and emotional changes that take place in both boys and girls during puberty. It teaches about love, going out, marriage and how a baby develops from conception to birth. The resource consists of a PowerPoint presentation on a CD and a suggested script given in the teacher‘s resource book. The resource book also contains photocopiable worksheets relating to each lesson.
