Appearance, identity and confidence
Strengths, beauty standards, social media comparison and positive self-talk.
Subject curriculum
Girls Life Skills
A vocational personal development programme that helps young women build confidence, healthy relationships, safer choices and a clear sense of who they want to become.
Vocational Girls
Prepared for adult life, not just for a lesson
This programme sits on the Vocational Girls pathway alongside Hair and Beauty Enterprise. Two sessions each week over 12 weeks give time to explore identity, relationships, respect, peer pressure, help-seeking and future goals through calm discussion, scenarios and personal journals.
Beauty builds vocational skill. Girls Life Skills builds the personal development and preparation for adulthood that sit beside it.
Programme strands
What young women explore
Five strands run through the 24 sessions.

Careers and my future
Aspirations, employability habits, support networks and realistic goals.
12-week map
How the weeks are planned
Each week has an introduce session and an apply session.

Appearance and identity, confidence, self-respect and boundaries.

Session rhythm
How sessions run
Sessions last about 45 to 60 minutes: a short check-in, teaching of key ideas, a practical activity, journal reflection and an exit ticket.
Sensitive topics are introduced through fictional scenarios. Young people are not required to share personal experiences. If something raises a concern about safety, staff follow safeguarding procedures and report to the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
