Putting Empathy
Into Action:
PSHE With
Leena & Zach
Bring empathy and understanding to life through immersive audio lessons your pupils will actually connect with.
PSHE with Leena & Zach is a multi-part series of immersive audio adventures that help pupils explore big topics.
Through the ups and downs of two contrasting friends, children tackle issues like mental health, bullying, and online safety head-on. Relatable stories spark reflection, build empathy, and make tough topics easier to discuss.
Each 5-minute episode is part of a 45-minute lesson, immersing pupils in real-life contexts that build empathy and bring depth and authenticity to your PSHE. Help your pupils recognise emotions, practise empathy, and make safer choices in real life.

Real Characters, Real PSHE Impact
Leena & Zach put your pupils in another child’s shoes, boosting their empathy and understanding.
Our real-life contexts, built via immersive storytelling, breathe life and reality into what can otherwise become abstract case studies.
Our active, oracy-based follow-up lesson gets your pupils communicating effectively, improving their emotional literacy and working towards real-world solutions.
This product comes off the back of high demand for more of our PSHE content, in the face of rising deprivation and mental health needs across our schools.
PSHE That Pupils Feel - Not Just Learn
Short audio stories. Big impact.
Empathy led approach
