Pupils study topics such as identity, NI and UK politics, and the ‘Community of Lifesavers’, where they learn practical emergency response skills including CPR and the use of defibrillators. Assessment is mainly through classwork and teacher assessment, focusing on applied learning rather than formal exams.
