Secondary Skills for Life
The Benefits of Studying Secondary Skills for Life
By studying our Secondary Skills for Life homeschooling course (English National Curriculum Key Stage 3), your child will develop skills and knowledge by presenting scenarios critical to their management of future opportunities, responsibilities and challenges. An effective programme can raise aspirations and tackle barriers to learning as well as improve employability and social mobility.
In addition, a growing body of evidence shows that Life Skills education can reduce many issues surrounding emotional and physical wellbeing of students, reducing factors detrimental to student development. The skills and attributes that Secondary Skills for Life courses aim to develop are also shown to increase attainment.

I firmly believe our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world, is the foundation that leads to academic success elsewhere. The better we know ourselves, the easier it is to know other things.

We are in our second year now of Lower Secondary and have had such incredible responses from everyone at Wolsey Hall (teachers and admin staff alike). All the information arrived no problem, Skype calls organised seamlessly, assignments corrected sometimes the same day that they are submitted. Clear, helpful feedback from the teachers. I have absolutely no affiliation with Wolsey Hall but I recommend it to everyone as we love it! Our daughter loves it, is learning loads and is excited about learning, she tells us she never wants to go back to "traditional" schooling. Thank you so much everyone.
