LIFE
PSHCE(LIFE) - NON-EXAM)
There are four separate strands within the LIFE curriculum: Citizenship, Careers Education, Economic Wellbeing and PSHE (Physical, Social and Health Education). There is currently one miscellaneous unit that does not directly fit in to these strands; revision skills in year 11 (Cycle 5). During the Life lessons, students will receive important careers education, information, advice and guidance so that they have high aspirations and clear progression routes after Year 11. The course will also study a range of personal, social, health and care issues such as relationships, respect, tolerance and global issues including religion.
