LLW Department
Learning for Life and Work is a key component of the revised curriculum. There are three main strands:
1. Citizenship
2. Employability
3. Personal Development
The overall aim of the department is to develop the young person as:
1. An individual
2. A contributor to Society
3. A contributor to the Economy and Environment
An Individual
Our aim is:
-To develop an individual's self-esteem
-To develop the ability to understand and manage emotions
-To develop the ability to relate and interact effectively with others
A Contributor to Society
Our aim is:
-To develop the ability to use rational thought processes to arrive at decisions
-To enable individuals to take account of their needs and the needs of others
-To develop critical thinking skills and help pupils become fair-minded and objective
A Contributor to the Economy and Environment
Our aim is:
-To develop creative thinking
-To enable pupils to generate new ideas
-To enable pupils to apply skills and capabilities in readiness for independent living and work in an increasingly complex world
When delivering Learning for Life and Work the main focus is on experiential learning which encourages pupils to:
discuss how they feel about the issues that arise from the themes in Learning for Life and Work and how they would like things to be in the future; search, understand and think about relevant information to inform and clarify their personal viewpoints;
respond positively to the challenge and opportunities of these themes in real life situations.
