Every Child Achieving & Thriving:
How to Embed Life Skills
Into Your Curriculum Now

The 2028 curriculum changes are coming. Is your school ready?

The upcoming curriculum review signals a clear shift — broader outcomes, life skills, personal development, and real-world readiness are moving from 'nice to have' to 'expected'. But for most primary schools, there's no structured way to deliver this alongside an already packed timetable.

In this free CPD session, we'll walk you through what we know about the 2028 changes, where life skills fit within your existing curriculum, and how the Future Skills Mark gives your school a practical, evidence-based framework — delivered in just one 45-minute lesson a week.
