It is the responsibility of all teachers and practitioners to support all pupils in the development of skills in Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Well-being.

Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Well-being are important in all areas of learning. Being active, healthy, numerate, being able to read, write, listen carefully and talk clearly will increase opportunities for pupils in all aspects of life and will allow them to participate fully in learning. Having the necessary skills to be secure as they progress into further education and on into the workplace will prepare them for our ever changing and developing world.

In all three areas, we aim to promote the development of

• Critical thinking
• Creative thinking
• Competence in listening, talking, reading and writing
• Personal, interpersonal and team working skills
• Building financial capability
• Ability to make positive life choices.

Various cross-curricular and interdisciplinary programmes of work are planned for and learners are encouraged to be involved in leading their learning at all stages.
