Longcause Learning For Life (LLFL)
Welcome to the Learning for Life Webpage!
At Longcause School, we recognise that some children will find the development of specific social skills and life skills a challenge. Within some settings it may be taken for granted that these skills will naturally occur, however at Longcause School we understand that these skills need to be directly taught. As a result of this Longcause School has created it's own unique PSHE curriculum which we name our 'Learning for Life Curriculum' (LLfL)
Our Learning for Life Curriculum is split into different strands:
Social Communication: Engagement, Early & Later Stages
Life Skills: Safety inside the home, Safety outside the home
Looking after a home, Personal Health & Safety
Drugs and Alcohol Education
Sex and Relationship Education
At Longcause School we understand that these skills are as important, if not more, as other subjects because they are built around our pupils' individual needs for their future lives. Through enterprise days we also ensure that LLfL flows through all aspects of our curriculum and the pupils' experiences here at Longcause School.
'TALKABOUT'
This year we are exploring how we can use 'Talkabout' to enhance and extend our social skills curriculum.
'Talkabout' has been created by Alex Kelly as a way of supporting pupils to develop crucial social skills through practical and small group based activities. We will begin our work at Longcause by looking at how to develop our pupils self esteem and self awareness to create the foundations for effective social communication.

You can find out more about what your child is learning about in Talkabout and LLfL this term through Seesaw
KS4 Accreditation
By the end of 2017 four pupils achieved ASDAN PSD accreditation over one year, rather than the two year programme it is supposed to be.
