The Learning for Life team delivers courses to RAS (refugee and asylum seeking) young people to help prepare them to join school or college. Our lessons focus mostly on English but can also cover maths, life skills and aspects of UK culture and values, and life in the UK. Teachers make use of L4L curriculum materials and adapt these – and develop new resources – to best meet the learning needs of the young people in their class(es). Most of our learners join us soon after their arrival in the UK/entry into the community and, the vast majority have low levels of English.
