Life Matters

What: Year 7 Religious Education Curriculum Day. KS 3 RE Unit of Study link:  Faith in Action and Awe and Wonder. 

Where: School Building 

When: Autumn Term – September/October 

This day is designed to enable the new Year 7 cohort to understand the importance of valuing relationships and developing a sense of community. They are encouraged to think through four elements of life in interactive and creative ways: themselves, relationships, community and the earth. Each workshop, through a neutral stimulus initially, allows them to consider how the Christian world view perceives these four elements, which they are encouraged to pull apart and discuss, and from which they draw their own conclusions. They take away with them ‘key ring cards’ from each workshop, which allows them to continue to personally reflect on what has been discussed during the day.  To book a Life Matters day at your school click here. 

Lunchtime Clubs

These groups provide a convenient and safe spaces for students (of all faiths and none) where they can come as they are, be seen and valued, whilst engaging in activities which promote wellbeing. They are run by our staff and trained volunteers. 

RE Lessons

Our team of trained educators are happy to create and deliver bespoke RE lessons on request for Key Stages 3, 4 & 5. We also offer a stand-alone Year 7 lesson from the Life Matters curriculum day for schools which are unable to host a whole year group drop down day. Please follow this link to enquire about availability… 

Assemblies

Assemblies (KS 3 & 4) 

We have a secondary assembly presentation programme designed to build thematically across the year groups drawn from already tried and tested curriculum content. This content is from previous drop-down days supporting the PSHE curriculum, which we delivered in all Island Secondary Schools over a ten year period.  

Topics include: 

Year 7 – relationships (dealing with conflict); I matter; community 

Year 8 – I’m important; you matter; I can stand up for myself 

Year 9 – the effect of media on the brain; the effect of media on relationships; interpreting the world through the media 

Year 10 – General consent; Healthy communication; early signs of abusive relationships 

Year 11 – Wellbeing – look after yourself; run the race well with integrity
