Decreasing teachers’ workload while increasing students’ education experience
What does SPUC offer schools?
We offer free talks and resources for both primary and secondary schools in the UK. Each talk is tailored to the pupils’ age and stage of education.
Every year, SPUC and SPUC Scotland receive hundreds of requests from schools and colleges across the UK for talks and resources to help students engage with and discuss life-related issues.
Our team works closely with educators to provide tailored presentations and learning materials, ensuring that students, including those in sixth form, have the opportunity to explore topics such as the value of life, ethical decision-making, and human rights in an informed and balanced way.
To support schools and teachers in delivering these important lessons, SPUC has developed comprehensive school resource packs. These packs include a wide range of presentations, lesson plans, and activities that align with educational standards and promote critical thinking among students. Whether you are looking for a guest speaker, interactive workshops, or downloadable teaching resources, SPUC is here to help you equip your students with the knowledge and skills to engage in thoughtful discussion.
Flexibility is our forte. Whether you need a brief session or a comprehensive assembly, our presentations can be tailored to fit seamlessly into your schedule and align with your curriculum requirements.
