About Us
Each year, Life Education Bradford reaches over 30,000 children in 120+ schools across West Yorkshire and surrounding regions.
We are a proud delivery partner of Coram SCARF, the oldest children’s charity in the UK. We are an independent and self-supporting charity (Registered Charity 702709) and have been delivering health, well-being and drug education programmes to primary school children in our area since 1990.
Our dedicated team of educators - Lucy, Jane, Juliet, and Julia - work with schools across areas in and surrounding West Yorkshire (Bradford, Kirklees, Wakefield, Calderdale, Leeds, Craven, Harrogate, Barnsley). We help children develop the confidence, skills, and knowledge to make safe and healthy choices.

"Juliet is absolutely brilliant. Very quickly develops a rapport with pupils that allows her to discuss potentially embarrassing topics in a very easy manner - pupils feel safe and secure and therefore share and ask pertinent questions." - Bradford Assistant Headteacher
“We are always blown away with Lucy and her sessions. She delivers them in such a fantastic manner and really connects with our pupils. She has an incredible ability to make our pupils feel at ease and open up. It has become an essential part of our programme and helps our staff to be assured that the pupils receive a high quality RSE session." - Calderdale Deputy Headteacher
“Jane was very knowledgeable and obviously very experienced in the subject area delivering workshops. I was in sessions for Year 3 and also Year 5 and she changed her style and delivery to meet the needs of the different year groups perfectly and considerately." - Kirklees Teacher
"Fantastic interactive workshop. Excellent presentation skills and such great ideas for explaining visually quite tricky concepts. I would just like to say how fantastic Julia was with the children - it was wonderful!" - Leeds Teacher
"The activities, discussions and resources all help children to get a very good understanding of how to keep themselves and others around them safe, how to stay healthy and make good decisions." - Bradford PSHE Lead
"The session was successful in allowing pupils to understand that they have control over their behaviour, choices and emotions. After the session the children spoke fondly about the workshop and said they were going to think more about their future when making decisions and now understand how important the job of a bystander is." - Calderdale Teacher
"The session was excellent! The teacher had an excellent, calm, inclusive approach with the children, and respected everyone's contributions. The whole class was really engaged." - Bradford Teacher
"The children’s responses in the workshops were testament to the need for this type of learning. Follow-up discussions in class were very positive. Children enjoy the sessions. They recognise more clearly how to deal with their own feelings and keep themselves safe." – Bradford Teacher
"There is so much on offer from Coram & SCARF, that by simply following the scheme and utilising their experts for workshops the children are getting fantastic coverage." - Bradford Headteacher
