Future Skills Programme
The Future Skills Programme is one of the cornerstones of the Sixth Form curriculum at King’s.
Through it, students are prepared with essential life skills to help them to prepare to be responsible, independent, engaged young people when they leave school. There are a number of different facets to the Programme, including:
- Managing finance
- Health and safety
- Cookery
- Living away from home
- Community engagement
- Work experience
- First Aid
- Citizenship
- Vehicle maintenance
"All pupils in the sixth form undertake volunteering in the local community as part of the curriculum.
There are established links with organisations such as a homeless shelter and food kitchen. These initiatives enable pupils to develop their sense of social responsibility."

Students have timetabled sessions through which many of these aspects are delivered; however, students are also encouraged to use some of their non-contact time during the week to pursue community engagement and work experience.
