Lessons In Loss on EuHu: Whole Secondary School Subscription

Are you ready to Build a Grief Literate School?

Lessons in Loss® has been created to help secondary schools move beyond waiting until a young person is bereaved or experiencing significant loss before conversations about grief begin.

It provides a progressive approach to grief education from Year 7 to Year 11, bringing together whole-class learning, staff training, targeted interventions and practical pastoral support within one whole-school subscription.

The curriculum supports secondary schools in meeting the new statutory Relationships, Sex and Health Education expectations around death, change, loss, bereavement, relationships and mental wellbeing, alongside the strengthened guidance around suicide prevention.

Through age-appropriate texts, scenarios, discussion and activities, young people explore different experiences of grief, loss and change. The learning develops as they move through secondary school, helping them build the language, understanding and confidence to talk about experiences that are a natural part of life.

Alongside whole-class learning, CPD-certified staff training helps the adults around young people develop their own understanding of grief and feel more confident having conversations that can sometimes feel difficult.

When a young person needs additional support, schools can draw on specialist resources, including extracts and activities from our journals and Adult Support Guides. These provide practical tools for targeted interventions, one-to-one work and wider pastoral support.

This creates a joined-up approach: teaching young people about grief proactively, developing the confidence of the adults around them, and providing additional support when a young person needs it.

Lessons in Loss® also continues to grow. New secondary curriculum lessons, training modules, texts, activities, videos and specialist resources are added throughout the year, allowing your school's approach to grief education to grow too.

One subscription. A comprehensive Year 7 to Year 11 curriculum, CPD-certified staff training, ready-to-use whole-class lessons, specialist grief resources and targeted intervention materials — giving your secondary school the tools to teach about grief proactively and provide more focused support when it is needed.

Secondary schools will also have access to the full Primary curriculum, enabling staff to see the learning that comes before Key Stage 3 and understand how knowledge and understanding develop progressively.

Primary lessons and resources can also be used flexibly within secondary settings where appropriate, including for targeted interventions, small-group or whole-class work, and to support young people with SEND who may benefit from an alternative or more accessible approach.

Building Grief Literate Schools

Grief is part of life, yet young people are often first introduced to it when they are already experiencing a significant loss. Building Grief Literate Schools is about changing that.

By introducing grief education progressively, developing staff knowledge and providing targeted support when it is needed, secondary schools can create communities where grief is better understood, conversations feel more natural and young people know there are trusted adults they can turn to.

We believe grief education should be part of that preparation too.

Young people shouldn't have to experience a significant loss before they are given the language and understanding to talk about grief.

Lessons in Loss® introduces these conversations progressively through whole-class grief education, while developing staff knowledge and confidence and providing targeted interventions and specialist resources for young people who need more individual support.

This isn't about teaching young people how they should grieve. It is about helping them understand that grief, loss and change are part of life; that grief is individual; and that it is something we can talk about.
