INTENT
In Year 11, the programme prepares pupils for adulthood by focusing on independent living, digital and online safety, health and wellbeing, and active citizenship. Learners examine the challenges of managing change, reflect on their personal identity and responsibilities, and apply their skills in real-world independent living challenges. The year culminates in opportunities for pupils to showcase their learning, demonstrating readiness to navigate life beyond school with confidence, responsibility, and independence.
