Lower School

SEAL is a Lower School programme designed to develop the social and emotional skills of all pupils through:

• using a whole school approach to create a climate and conditions that promote the skills and allow these to be practiced and consolidated
• direct and focused learning opportunities for whole classes, across the curriculum and outside formal lessons and as part of small group work
• using learning and teaching approaches that support pupils to learn social and emotional skills and consolidate those already learned
• continuing professional development for the whole school staff.

The skills are in five groupings:

• self-awareness
• managing feelings
• empathy
• motivation
• social skills.
