Contraception KS3 - 2026 RSHE Guidance

Contraception for KS3 PSHE Lesson resource. The lesson covers important considerations before we have sex, different methods of contraception (including natural, artificial and permanent methods), optional condom demonstration and information on where and how contraception can be obtained. The lesson covers aspects of the new RSHE guidance in the following areas -

• The facts about the full range of contraceptive choices, efficacy and options available, including male and female condoms, and signposting towards medically accurate online information about sexual and reproductive health to support contraceptive decision making.
• The law about the age of consent.
• Signposting towards medically accurate information and further advice, and where to access confidential sexual and reproductive health advice and treatment.

This is an easy to follow power point lesson (no prior planning, printing or preparation required). The resource is designed to be delivered as one or two 50- 60 minute lessons (depending on tasks chosen) but all of our resources are fully editable and designed to allow sections to be added or removed should you need to do so.

No previous knowledge in the subject area is needed, as the lesson is easily deliverable by someone who is not a subject specialist or experienced PSHE teachers. Lesson meets current UK PSHE guidance.
