What is the Life curriculum?
Taught predominantly through LIFE lessons in tutor time, the LIFE curriculum gives you the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthy, safe, productive and fulfilled lives, both now and in the future. Watch this video for some more information.
What will you learn about?
The LIFE curriculum is split up into 5 key areas, and you study each of these areas in every year that you’re at the school. These areas are:
1. Living in The Wider World
2. Philosophy Morals and Ethics
3. Physical and Emotional Health and Wellbeing
4. The World of Work (careers)
5. Relationships
Why are your LIFE lessons so important?
School isn’t just about preparing you academically for whatever comes next, it’s also about helping you to understand the world around you. Your LIFE lessons will help you to explore some of the bigger topics, issues, questions, challenges and adventures that your life will undoubtedly throw at you, and will equip you with ways in which you can deal with them.
You’re not required to write anything down in your LIFE lessons, but you are required to take an active part in the discussions that take place.
