It’s never too early to nurture children’s aspirations or to help them develop valuable skills for the classroom and beyond. From free lesson plans and slides to films and interactive tools, the Barclays LifeSkills resources cover a variety of topics including developing core transferable skills, building aspirations and personal development for primary ages all the way through to adulthood.
Barclays LifeSkills
Schemes of Learning
Looking for somewhere to start as you support your pupils in building their aspirations? The new Barclays LifeSkills schemes of learning offer sequenced resources across employability (from age 7) and financial education (from age 5). Designed to support educators in helping pupils build core skills like communication and career awareness, the 7–11 employability scheme helps pupils develop year-on-year through structured, flexible lessons that revisit and build upon important topics to support with year on year progression. These flexible resources can slot into existing delivery to further embed core learning in a simple and achievable way and reduce planning time.

Dream Big Day - Tech for Gen LIVE Lesson (students aged 7 - 11)
Are your students interested in AI, how it can be used in their daily lives and how it might develop in the future? Could they see themselves working in a future career using or designing AI?
Join us on Friday 28th June 9.30am, when our Learning Design and Development Officer (and experienced primary school teacher), Poppy Patel, will deliver a virtual 50 minute Tech We Can LIVE lesson for children aged 7 – 11. This will be an interactive session where the children will be guided to complete paper based tasks and partner discussions – they therefore need to be based at a table with a piece of paper and pen/pencil.
Poppy will highlight the role Gen AI technology plays in our current lives, how it can be used for good and how it may develop. She will also show some of the careers within Gen AI technology that students could pursue in the future.
The content is ideal for a Key Stage 2 lesson (P4 – P7 in Scotland) in the classroom environment or from home. Simply complete the registration form to reserve your spot and we’ll send you a link to join the live lesson.
