Cooking Breakfast

 This week some of the classes have cooked full English breakfasts in cookery. The boys had a choice of what they wanted on the breakfast including sausages, bacon, eggs, toast, black pudding and beans.




Everyone really enjoyed this lesson as at the end they sat down and ate everything and staff helped them to wash up.

Drugs Education KS4

KS4 pupils have had an excellent half term learning about drugs education and transferring knowledge into relationships education. Pupils can list the characteristics and positive aspects of healthy relationships, including mutual respect, consent, loyalty, trust and shared interests. They can also discuss how the influence of alcohol and drugs can sometimes be detrimental to healthy relationships. 

Pupils can discuss and demonstrate the importance of assertive communication in relationships and when dealing with peer influence. The fantastic team at Yellow Door have been working with KS4 pupils discussing consent, boundaries and the impact of coercive and manipulative behaviour, gaslighting and revenge porn. 

Misconceptions around pornography, toxic masculinity and male suicide have been discussed in a mature way by pupils and all pupils have been signposted to support from agencies online and in person which can support with any of these issue.   


                                           Exploring Alcohol Education Trust resources and games.

                    Discussing safe sex and contraception and how the influence of alcohol could impact this. 

 Practicing how to put a friend in the recovery position if they are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Pupils know this will keep them safe and prevent them choking on their on sick. Well done everyone. 

KS4 pupils also took part in a trip to Life Lab! Look out for our Life Lab blog coming soon!
