Life Skills

Our life skills lessons give our pupil's the opportunity to think independently and to learn how to look after themselves, so as to prepare them for adult life.

Lessons include a focus on skills such as cleaning, personal care, cooking, independent living skills, travel training and gardening. Personal care involves the washing of clothes; how to use a washing machine and dry clothes effectively and economically. In our school garden and allotment, the pupils grow their own fruit and vegetables, using them to cook meals, showing them a sustainable and cost efficient way to produce food. We grow a range of fruit and vegetables, including corn, lettuce, pumpkins, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, and even avocados!
