LIFE Education

LIFE's Education programme continues to grow, offering a range of talks and conferences for young people on relationships and sex, abortion, STIs, reproductive technology, euthanasia and other ‘life' issues which matter to them. Last academic year alone, our Education Officers spoke to over 35,000 students, encouraging them to think for themselves about these crucial issues.

And here's what they've said about us …

What students say…

• It was really good. I enjoyed the topics and the speaker connected well with the students.
• It made me think about things I wouldn't usually think about.
• I now know more about the topics relevant to our age group.
• It was more useful than anything we've had before because it aimed to prevent sex from happening as opposed to trying to fix the consequences.
• It made us think about what really makes you happy and what to think about when in a relationship.
• It was really fun to participate in.
• I thought it was going to be boring, but it was excellent.
• I really enjoyed the energy and effort put into the presentations.
• After your talk I'm a bit more determined to find my own standpoint in this debate. So I'm going to do a bit of research and see what I can find.

What teachers say…

 “The day seemed well-received, by both the students and the OFSTED inspectors, who were really impressed and very moved by what they saw and heard. Thank you especially for handling your talks on STIs with both humour and serious intent.”    Teacher - Basingstoke, following an annual Yr 11 Relationships Day

 “The LIFE speaker did an excellent job on what is a challenging subject. She had the girls completely engaged and was extremely sensitive to their needs. We will definitely invite LIFE back.”
Deputy Head - Independent Girls School, Berkshire

“The LIFE talks have become an integral part of our GCSE delivery. The speakers are uniformly excellent and the content engages pupils of all abilities and is pitched at just the right tone. The pro-life argument is presented in a non-judgemental, sensitive manner which stems from a reasoned philosophical and ethical stance on the issues.”
Dr Robinson - Teacher of Religious Studies

“Thank you. During the discussion part of the pupils' exam quite a few of them said they had changed their mind about abortion!”
Teacher - Hertfordshire

“Thank you for the talks that you recently gave our Upper Five students. The material was expertly chosen and relevant to their GCSE work. Feedback from the girls has been really positive and they would love you to come in again (to answer their very probing questions - you were very brave!)”
Teacher - Dorset
