Barclays Life Skills

Over the past few weeks, our Year 9 pupils have participated in an exciting four-part LifeSkills programme, delivered by TalentFoundry in partnership with Barclays.

Each session focused on key skills to prepare them for the future:

Maths in Everyday Life – Understanding how numeracy plays a vital role beyond the classroom
Recognising and Building Personal Skills – Exploring their strengths and how to grow them
Problem Solving – Using logic and creativity to overcome challenges
Exploring Job Sectors and Preparing for Work – Gaining insight into the world of careers and the steps needed to get there

The pupils also completed follow-up activities to reflect on their aspirations, budgeting skills, personal efficiency, and goal-setting.
