Life education Wessex & Thames Valley

What we do

Relationships, Health, Wellbeing, and Drugs Education

Local charity Life Education Wessex & Thames Valley is a Delivery Partner of the UK’s leading health, drug and emotional wellbeing education programme, Coram Life Education. We help to effectively communicate healthy lifestyle messages and empower children aged 3-13 with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to make positive healthy decisions and stay safe in schools across:

• Wessex - Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire and Somerset
• Thames Valley - Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and East Swindon

​Our programmes are delivered under the strapline ‘Helping Children Make Healthy Choices’. Trained Educators use evidence-based, interactive, creative methods and resources to stimulate curiosity and imagination, and where a positive, fun-filled experience helps children to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to make their own positive choices about their physical and emotional health.

Our memorable life skills sessions are currently delivered as 'Life Base' in school or as 'SCARF Live Online' sessions via Zoom. LEW&TV takes a three strand approach addressing children’s knowledge, skills and attitudes, and programmes are aligned with the National Curriculum (Citizenship, PSHE Education), covering all Key Stages. We also help schools meet their statutory requirements for Relationships and Health Education, children’s Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development, and Ofsted inspection criteria for personal development, behaviour and welfare. Recognising the role of the community and home life in influencing children’s choices, we also deliver special sessions and assemblies for parents and carers to amplify our effectiveness.
