British Values + Politics 2026
NEW 15 HOURS- A selection of brand new 2026/27 EC Publishing PSHE lessons created for British Values / Citizenship / Tutor Time lessons or could be used for a Drop Down Day for Citizenship. The lessons cover pertinent political issues in the UK, from immigration and identity to our role in war and peace on the global scale - as well as an introduction to five of the UK's main political parties. Note - we are a non-partisan company so every party's lesson will show the established policies and history of parties (factually) rather than even remotely promoting any of them. These would be especially useful if you were going to run a mock general election. There are 15 hours of total content as many of the lessons are doubles, each coming with detailed easy to follow PowerPoint, worksheets, clips, activities and info packs. Made by a wonderful team of consultants and teachers who are, above all, humans, not AI (we write and check every word and fact and are happy to stake our company reputation on what we produce). This is a saver pack - bought separately the lessons would total £34.
