PSHE Water Safety

BSSP Teaching Water Safety in the Classroom

Starting September 2026, water safety education is a mandatory component of the statutory Relationships, Sex, and Health Education (RSHE) curriculum for all primary and secondary schools in England. Integrated into PSHE-related lessons, this requirement focuses on the Water Safety Code and essential self-rescue techniques.

To help reduce your workload, we have pooled resources from leading stakeholders into pre-designed lesson plans spanning pre-school to secondary school—providing everything you need in one place:

  • Ready-made lesson plans and assembly guides

  • Interactive games and digital resources

  • Practical ideas for delivering these concepts in the classroom

To gain access to these resources via our Dropbox platform, please fill out the linked order form. An invoice for £25 will be sent upon receipt, and all digital files will be dispatched directly to you once payment is received—ready for seamless integration into your curriculum.
