Living in Modern Britain
Through the ‘Living in Modern Britain’ curriculum, Sixth Form students actively engage in rigorous critical thinking surrounding the defining issues faced by young people today. The program seamlessly integrates statutory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health modules with active citizenship, ensuring that personal development is grounded in broader civic awareness. Rather than treating these subjects in isolation, the curriculum embeds a clear political dimension into every topic, challenging students to analyze how major political ideologies across the UK address contemporary societal issues.
Whether debating mental health provision, digital safety, healthy relationships, or socioeconomic inequality, students examine the differing policy solutions proposed by mainstream political parties and thinkers. This balanced, multi-faceted approach equips young adults not only with the practical knowledge needed to navigate adulthood safely and responsibly, but also with the political literacy required to evaluate competing viewpoints, form independent arguments, and actively participate as informed citizens in British society.
Sixth Form students have high attendance and relish their time in school
