Whole-school approach

At Sheridan school, our Life-Skills is taught from KS3 onwards, by specialist teachers. Life-Skills is taught in a stand-alone lesson each week to every year group.

• Medium term planning is given to all staff which has been developed by Life-Skills lead in guidance with recognized authorities and SCARF to meet the needs of our pupils.

• Assemblies are planned to cover any additional sessions that would benefit the whole school.

At Sheridan Schools, the Life-Skills framework is seamlessly integrated into every aspect of the curriculum, fostering holistic development among students.

Through SCARF's pillars of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship, each lesson is meticulously crafted to empower students with essential life skills and emotional intelligence.

Teachers employ interactive activities, discussions, and real-life scenarios to engage students in meaningful learning experiences. By addressing topics such as emotional well-being, healthy relationships, and personal safety within the SCARF framework.

Sheridan Schools ensures that students not only acquire knowledge but also develop the attitudes and skills necessary for thriving in today's complex world.

Through the lens of Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship, each lesson is meticulously designed to nurture critical thinking and social-emotional learning. Utilizing a variety of discussion prompts, case studies, and collaborative activities, teachers guide students in exploring diverse perspectives and developing empathy. By fostering an inclusive and respectful environment, Sheridan Schools empowers students to articulate their thoughts, challenge assumptions, and cultivate meaningful connections with their peers. Through the SCARF framework, lessons not only deepen students' understanding of complex issues but also equip them with the communication skills and empathy needed to navigate the complexities of the world around them.

The curriculum is sequenced into half termly threads, with direction of the Subject lead. However, teachers also are encouraged to use their professional judgement to select the topic they feel is best appropriate for their class. This is monitored by the subject lead to ensure pupils are exposed to subjects across their school time.

We firmly believe that a meaningful Life-Skills curriculum is the key to children becoming confident, tolerant and well-rounded adults. Children can approach a range of real-life situations and apply their skills and attributes to help navigate themselves through modern life. From exposure to a range of global issues and problems, children can build up tolerance and a sense of responsibility of being a global citizen. From engagement with a variety of Educate and Celebrate texts, children can understand the different lifestyles that people may live and be respectful and tolerant towards those leading different lives to themselves.
