Our Intent:
Life Education
In Life lessons at Central Lancaster High School our goal is to equip all pupils with the relevant skills they need for life outside the classroom. Life offers the pupils the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge to keep young people safe and healthy. In our curriculum we endeavour to build personal resilience and through honest, open and relevant schemes of learning, we aim to empower our pupils to make informed thoughtful and well considered choices when presented with the many challenges young people face in the modern age.
In each year pupils will focus on age appropriate topics linked to the theme of health and wellbeing, sex and relationships and living in the wider world. These topics include Sexual Respect and the Law, Healthy Relationships and Mental Health and Wellbeing. These units provide the basis for the lifelong learning that our pupils will utilise beyond the classroom. Additionally, we are proud to teach an LGBT inclusive Life curriculum and cover many issues aimed at supporting our LGBT students, parents and local community.
Life
In Life lessons at Central Lancaster High School a combination of RE, Citizenship and Personal, Social, Health Education are taught at Year 10 and 11. This subject offers pupils the opportunity to develop their understanding of moral, social and personal issues that may affect them. Life builds on the knowledge and skills gained in Key Stage 3 with the goal of further preparing pupils for life outside the classroom.
This includes developing a passion for embracing different cultural and religious beliefs, making considered choices about their health and wellbeing and being active and positive members of their community. Life topics are more mature in their nature but are carefully selected to reflect relevant concerns faced by young people both locally and nationally. Through the Life curriculum we continue to empower our pupils to make informed and thoughtful decisions when they leave our care and enter the adult world. Students will study money management, exploitation, healthy relationships, community cohesion and managing risks.
Life lessons are supported across our pastoral system of school with activities in form time, assemblies and themed weeks.
