At Lift Tamworth, pupils benefit from a comprehensive, whole-school PSHE approach, including a structured curriculum at Key Stage 3, dedicated pastoral time at Key Stage 4, and targeted support through assemblies and enrichment programmes. This ensures students are equipped with the knowledge, resilience, and skills to thrive in both school and modern society.
You will be supported to deliver engaging, high-quality lessons that inspire and challenge students of all abilities.
