Life Skills for Personal Development

At Mildmay Primary school we recognise the need to build understanding and knowledge of issues impacting on a child’s life and we seek to incorporate many important ‘life skills’ messages in our learning beyond the standard curriculum.

These include: 

• Self-Regulation and Wellbeing  

• Votes for Schools – a weekly discussion lesson highlighting key issues of current affairs, personal development and safety, health and well-being. 

• Bikeability in EYFS and Year 6 

• Transition visits for Year 6 in preparation for secondary school 

• Fire Safety talks (particularly around the time of bonfire night). 

• Road safety awareness  

• E-safety and safer internet practice 

And a plethora of assemblies (focusing on a wide variety of cultural and personal development themes) for the whole school.
