Schools work.

The West Patch offers a wide variety of both formal and informal works to schools in the area.

We have a good working partnership with Penwortham Girls` High school and Priory Technical College. We also work with Hutton Grammar School.

The range and scope of work fits and supports the P.S.H.E curriculum.
Drugs awareness, sexual health, teenage pregnancy, rights and responsibilities, citizenship, democracy and decision making are all topics we cover.
We also look at issues around human rights, the environment, race awareness and advice and information. We work in an outreach role two lunchtimes a week in the local schools. This gives the west patch team the opportunity of working with a wide range and of young people from our patch areas, as well as the valuable contacts of staff and other agencies we work with at the schools
