LiFE Curriculum at Pakefield High School

jude-beck-fx43OGLV-nA-unsplash

Our LIFE Programme at Pakefield is our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) programme which also incorporates all of the RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) elements that are statutory, alongside important topics such as healthy lifestyles, financial literacy and careers. The aim of the programme is to equip our young people with the skills needed to be successful and well-rounded members of society, who thrive in life both inside and outside of school.

We use quality assured resources in lessons from the PSHE Association to aid the delivery of our bespoke curriculum, with lessons tailored to the need of our pupils at Pakefield High School. Students will progress through three topics 'Sex and Relationships', Living in the Wider World' and 'Health and Wellbeing', with content getting progressively more in-depth as they develop through secondary school. 

Whilst LIFE/PSHE lessons are provided for students on a fortnightly basis, we have a core focus on personal development with a Form Time Programme specifically tailored to each year group, supporting the delivery of the PSHE and Citizenship curriculum, with small bitesize chunks delivered weekly by form tutors. Moreover, we have a bespoke Assembly Programme which is centralised around topical weeks throughout the year, with opportunities for students to hear from external visitors to enhance their learning across a variety of topics linking to the PSHE curriculum.
