The boys are prompted to consider three main areas of their lives: Health and Wellbeing’; ‘Relationships’; and ‘Living in the Wider World.’ Life Skills provides a framework through which key knowledge, skill and attributes can be developed and applied to some of the most pressing issues young people face: from mental health to understanding the importance of staying safe online, healthy and safe relationships, making sense of media messages, challenging extreme views and having the skills and attributes to negotiate the challenges of school life and enter into the next stage of their education with the knowledge and self-belief to fulfil their own potential. Above all, it promotes informed and positive decision making, whilst encouraging respect for other people, as well as teaching pupils to celebrate difference. Our approach to teaching Life Skills is varied and includes small group discussions, hands-on projects and experiences, visiting speakers and workshops.
We are fully committed to the happiness, welfare and wellbeing of our pupils. We want them to flourish, to develop confidence in themselves, resilience and sensitivity to others. We aim to do all we can to set them up for meaningful, happy and satisfying lives, once they leave us. We pride ourselves on knowing each and every pupil well and on treating our pupils as individuals. The Hall enables a strong, well-integrated system of pastoral care which ensures that the needs of each individual child are addressed and that all pupils – whatever their age enjoy their time at school. When issues occur, they are communicated swiftly to devise the best way forward so that our pupils are happy and healthy in body and in mind.
