At Barugh Green, we believe that providing children with the skills they need to succeed in their future is of high importance. We also believe that by reinforcing these skills throughout daily teaching enables children to become responsible, independent and active members of the school community and later in life, society.
In Key Stage 2 we continue the learning of enterprise skills through our life skills booklets. Each week, children are given a different skill to focus on and any way in which they have demonstrated this skill is recorded. KS2 assemblies are also carried out around the skills to allow for a deeper understanding of these. A list and definition of the skills we cover are listed below:
