PSHE & Citizenship - KS3

Our PSHE & Citizenship service is a vast library of digital resources for use in the classroom at Key Stage 3.

If you subscribe to Espresso, our content will be installed in your school or LA for instant access and will be updated monthly with new content which means you will always have access to the freshest and most stimulating resources available.

Espresso's PSHE & Citizenship service can be used on its own or alongside our services for KS3 French and KS4 PE.

In addition our PE resources are also available on a stand alone CD-ROM.
