Is there a document showing cross-curricular links or short-term planning for Life to the Full Plus?
Overview
While Life to the Full Plus naturally supports a wide range of curriculum areas, there is not currently a single document that explicitly maps cross-curricular links or provides a separate short-term planning breakdown.
However, there are several resources within the platform that schools find very helpful for planning and curriculum mapping.
Does Life to the Full Plus support other curriculum areas?
Yes, Life to the Full Plus complements and supports learning across multiple subjects.
For example:
- Science
- Health and wellbeing
- The human body (where appropriate)
- PSHE / Citizenship
- Rights and responsibilities
- Money and financial education
- Careers and the world of work
- Online life and digital awareness
- Religious Education (RE)
- Human dignity
- Justice and the common good
- Vocation and purpose
These links are embedded throughout the programme rather than presented as a separate mapping document.
Is there a short-term planning document?
At present, there is no standalone short-term planning document specifically for Life to the Full Plus.
Instead, planning is supported through:
- Module and session structures
- Detailed lesson content within each unit
What resources can support planning?
Although there isn’t a single combined document, the following resources provide strong support for both long-term and short-term planning:
1. Programme Overview
- Shows how content is organised across modules and year groups
- Includes links through to individual sessions for more detail
You can access it here:

2. Mapping Matrix
- Located on the Programme Coordinator page
- Found under the Programme Mapping accordion
- Helps demonstrate curriculum coverage and alignment
3. Programme Pathways
- Also located on the Programme Coordinator page
- Found under the Programme Pathways accordion
- Provides suggested delivery models and sequencing
How do schools typically plan using these resources?
Many schools use a combination of:
- The Programme Overview for long-term structure
- Individual session content for short-term planning
- The Mapping Matrix for curriculum alignment
- Programme Pathways for delivery flexibility
This approach allows schools to:
- Adapt the programme to their timetable
- Integrate with existing curriculum areas
- Ensure full coverage across the year
Summary
- There is no single cross-curricular mapping or short-term planning document
- Cross-curricular links are embedded throughout the programme
- Planning is supported through:
- Programme Overview
- Mapping Matrix
