Preparation For Adult Life (P4AL)

Tor School strives to develop the qualities and attributes pupils need to thrive as individuals, family members and members of society. P4AL is a planned developmental programme of learning, through which young people acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to manage their lives now and in the future.

At Tor School we have developed a programme which is relevant and current to meet the needs of our students; specialist guest speakers, outside agencies and a dedicated P4AL team are all ways in which we ensure that topics covered are accurate and factual. Three core themes run through the programme of learning:

Health and Wellbeing; Relationships; Skills for Life. For further details of the topics covered in these core themes please refer to our curriculum offer.

RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) is part of our P4AL offer and is a statutory requirement.
