In addition, a programme of Learning for Life, including Citizenship, Sex Education, Careers Education and Work Related Learning and Enterprise Education and PE and Games are taken by all boys. St Margaret's takes a crosscurricular approach, building on content in existing National Curriculum subject areas and extending Citizenship concepts in specific Learning for Life lessons. The school has encouraged community partners to be involved in our programme including Liverpool Trading Standards, Merseyside Police and the British Heart Foundation. Topics covered include rights and responsibilities, the European Union, "a democratic society", sustainable development and the legal system.
