A new Citizenship / PSHE lesson focusing on the issues surround the UK’s immigration debate. Students will assess the pros and cons of high immigration levels, how this can be beneficial to Britain in many ways, but also detrimental in others. They will look at facts, statistics and quotes from politicians and compare these to official government figures. There is also a large focus on how migrants contribute to the economy through taking on jobs the British public (and many young people) might not consider doing and whether young people should be encouraged into these roles.
Students will assess why the Reform Party has become popular through focusing on immigration issues and what this means for UK politics. This is a completely non-partisan lesson, encouraging students to make up their own minds about the issue, given all the facts.
Students will complete a wide range of tasks, literacy-based, creative, source-based, analysis and clip tasks. Everything is editable and easy to just pick up and use. All information need is included.

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. CONTENTS: 1) British Values - Importance of British Values - 2 HOURS Brand new PSHE / Citizenship lesson best suited to KS4 / KS5 all about why we need shared British Values.
