At Shefford Lower School, Life Learning empowers children with the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive. Rooted in our school values of kindness, respect, honesty, determination, enjoyment and community, our Life Learning curriculum supports every child’s emotional, social and physical wellbeing. Through purposeful, hands-on and discussion-rich experiences, pupils learn to understand themselves, build healthy relationships, make safe choices and contribute positively to the world around them. Life Learning is woven into daily school life and evolves with the needs of our children, equipping them not only for their time at Shefford, but for life beyond the classroom.

 IF WE ARE KIND AND POLITE THEN THE WORLD WILL BE RIGHT
