Framing Friendships – PSHE & Enterprise Drop Down Day – ‘Real World Friendships’– Secondary Students aged 13 -18

This resources will help you to deliver a high impactful ‘Drop Down PSHE & Enterprise Day’ on Framing Friendships and Boundaries. This new resource will bring you a curriculum day of fun that requires critical reflecting thinking that will be perfect for your students from start to finish.

Alignment with New RSHE 2025 Requirements
This drop down day supports the updated RSHE curriculum in these important areas:

• Promotes healthy relationships, respect, and consent – core RSHE themes focused on building positive relationships and teaching students to recognise unhealthy dynamics
• Develops personal safety awareness – RSHE now includes topics like personal safety in public spaces; your delivery method allows a focused opportunity to explore these themes in context
• Supports mental health, grief, and resilience – updated guidance includes content on mental wellbeing, loneliness, and grief; a dedicated drop down day can weave in supportive discussion around these areas
• Increases 51ºÚÁÏ clarity and inclusion – schools are encouraged to create safe spaces, be inclusive of diverse family forms, and communicate clearly with parents; your day can model these principles

Framing Friendships Drop-Down Day is all about real-world friendship skills because friends are not just found, they are built. It takes skills to build a healthy and thriving friendship and through fun, interactive role-playing and group challenges, students will practice (not just talk about) how to build one. They’ll dive into active listening, empathy, constructive criticism, conflict resolution, and healthy friendships—all through hands-on activities that feel more like real-life than a lesson.
