Wellbeing: aged 13-18

Our Wellbeing Curriculum aims to help pupils build their wellbeing and resilience, which are essential to pupils’ career success as it enables them to tackle challenging situations and remain positive in times of change and uncertainty.

The curriculum covers the traits of resilient people, understanding stress and stress management, and developing empathy skills. Sessions also help to develop multiple employability skills. The sessions are 20minutes long, designed to be used during registration/tutor time.

We have also created some additional guidance for parents/carers on using the toolkit resources at home.
