The Life programme is a key part of Year 12 and 13 aiming to ensure that our students are prepared for the journey they will undertake when they leave Alcester Grammar School - wherever their destination may be.

The programme runs on a Friday morning and, in addition to support from staff within the school, as well as bringing in speakers and professionals from all walks of life.

Connecting with the Careers and assembly programme, and aiming to provide a wider perspective on students' opportunities and responsibilities, the sessions offer a space in the curriculum to support students and to guide them through the journey ahead. Some sessions cover traditional routes such as university or apprenticeships and provide information on how to plan towards those, while others cover broader issues such as study skills, managing emotions, respectful communication, charity, happiness and motivation. We also look at topics including car & bike maintenance, sewing, health, food, finance, sign language, first aid and politics. 

The journey from sixth form to success is very rarely a linear road: it twists and turns and takes you in many different directions before you reach your dream career. It is important to remember to enjoy each part of this journey and to build up strategies for resilience and happiness, as well as focusing on academic achievement. Remember that being in the Sixth Form is the beginning of that journey with many decisions to make, but also remember to enjoy the many opportunities that Alcester Grammar School will give you over the two years.
