Curriculum Intent

​

Our Learning 4 Life Curriculum encompasses PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, Economic), statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) as well as exploring British Values (BV), and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development.

​

Learning 4 Life is a chance to give every Burgate student the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they need to thrive now and in the future. This includes helping them to deal with critical issues they face every day such as friendships, emotional wellbeing, and change. It gives them a solid foundation for whatever challenging opportunities lie ahead, so they can face a world full of confidence and hope. In short, it forms a key part of making our students curious, ambitious, and kind individuals for life.

 

Please note that Relationships and Sex Education policy can be viewed in the policy area of this website.
