Delivering subject content through nine life themes
About LBL
We owe it to our children to equip them with the knowledge, skills and values to tackle the staggering challenges they will meet as adults.
Life-Based Learning (LBL) is aimed at children and young people and offers a bold and imaginative vision for education.
