All of the first term of Life Skills (3 lessons per week) is laying the foundation of Careers Education.
- Autumn 1st Half-Term: Introduction to Clare Mount – Transition to a new place; Managing worries and School Council / Charities – Having your say; making a difference
- Autumn 2nd Half-Term: Things I can do / things that make me feel proud; Social skills in school and in the community; Skills to stay safe
- Spring Term: Students learn about The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This sets out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities
- Summer Term: Citizenship and British values; Specific Careers units exploring: What are skills & qualities? What are my skills & qualities? Different jobs
- In the Autumn Term, a Careers Module is taught once a week.
This is followed by Life Skills lessons which support our students’ Careers Education:
- Spring Term: Personal safety; self-esteem; first aid; global citizenship
- Summer Term: British values; keeping safe in the community; daring to be different
- Again in Year 9 there is a module of lessons specifically on Careers and also the other Life Skills lessons further our students’ vocational skills and knowledge: Equal opportunities; Rules & Laws; Citizenship; UNRC; Healthy Lifestyles; Keeping safe in the Community; Money matters and First Aid.
- Students’ interests and skills are also discussed in regard to choosing options for KS4.
- There are two PSHCE lessons in Year 10 and one PSHE lesson in Year 11 per week.
- These include at least a full term of specific Careers lessons along with further lessons on Citizenship / Values; Keeping Healthy; Keeping Safe; Well-being and developing appropriate relationships. Each Careers lesson and all Life Skills & PSHCE lessons are designed specifically to meet the needs of the individuals within a class and therefore the programme of study is a personalised pathway.
- The whole Sixth Form curriculum is designed around the individual needs of the student, following an Individual Transition Plan and we are proud of an offer which includes at least one day per week in work experience for the whole year alongside lessons to develop our students’ personal and employability skills
