Preparation For Adult Life (P4AL)
Statement of Intent
An integral part of student development at Tor school, is Preparation for adult life; we strive to enable our students to be empowered and make good choices so they are able to be successful in life after Tor.
P4AL is taught throughout the key stages and covers three key areas: Skills for Life, Relationships and Health and Wellbeing. This subject is taught by the tutor which engenders positive and meaningful relationships between the tutor and tutee.

The Personal Development Programme aims to prepare young people for living effectively in the wider world and preparing them for adult life and work. We want Tor students to be recognised for: being of good character, resilient, honest, respectful, cooperative, confident and responsible. The PDP strives to deliver specific opportunities for students to work on these positive character qualities. We believe that these skills will enhance opportunities for our students at Post 16. |
The PDP will be delivered through tutors and the use of the Tor Achievement Folder, in conjunction with specifically designed PDP sessions once a week. There is some overlap with P4AL and appendix 1 illustrates the commonalities. |
Using baseline assessments for each of the outlined skills, tutors will be able to map progress and share with students. Increased participation in activities outside of students’ comfort zones will also demonstrate progress, for example: planning a whole school activity, Christmas and Summer Fair, Charity events, student voice. Termly awards to be given for achievement in the Tor Achievement Folder. |
Tutors to monitor and give feedback via Schoolpod. Feedback to be given to parents in weekly contact. SLT to have overview. |
