Learning for Life is the name for Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE) here at The Manor.
Learning for Life lessons at The Manor prepare the children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life, along with becoming healthy, confident, independent and responsible members of society.
