At LPS we pride ourselves on the quality of RSHE sessions during tutorial, using various activities to engage and enthuse our pupils to improve quality of discussions during debates. However, having a live performance makes a world of difference. Upfront Theatre Company returned to LPS Friday 10th March, with a GREAT performance on issues ranging from bullying, consent to sexual harassment. It was a real eye-opener for teachers and pupils alike, as it made these subjects come to life, seeing how they play out in real life. Seeing, and feeling the range of emotions, actions and how people respond, and what this may look like in real life was a real eye-opener. The actors were relatable using the language that young people use, funny, and then the actors flipped the script to be more serious within minutes.It was reassuring that our year 9 and 10 pupils were able to recognise the signs of positive and negative relationship, and where they can go for support both internally and externally. An absolutely brilliant performance by Upfront Theatre. Teachers comments: "I thought the play / workshop was excellent, students were engaged, enjoyed themselves and this was evident from the discussions at the end. Many students were putting their hands up to answer the questions to the point the performers did not have enough time to go around everyone". "Saying ‘Yes’ to sex does not always mean consent". Wednesday 22nd February: Year 10 pupils completed a workshop by Let Me Know (LMK) who are an education charity to promote good relationships as they shape health and happiness.

9th March 2022: Financial literacy is how to handle money, how to save, budget, spend and invest. It is an essential life skill which at LPS feel it is important for our pupils to learn. The Money Charity provided our pupils with a much-needed workshop that supports their next steps towards university, apprenticeship and or work. Most students have money concerns about money which adds to the pressure of studying etc. The workshop was a resounding success where students were engaged, completing set tasks. 100% of the pupils in attendance agreed that the session was educational. They agreed that they learnt new information, and were more informed to make better choices.

After working with our year 10s and 11s, we were pleased to announce that the Osmani Trust returned to LPS on Friday 21st January 2022.

Their approach was a resounding hit with the other year groups, and we believe they will have the same impact on year 9s.
