ELSA
Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA)
Our ELSA's are:
The ELSA programme is an initiative that was designed by Education Psychologists to enhance the capacity of schools to support the social, emotional and mental health needs of their pupils.
ELSA’s are members of school staff who have had special training from Educational Psychologists to help them in their work. ELSA’s help children and young people learn to understand their own emotions and respect the feelings of those around them. They provide the time and space for pupils to think about their personal circumstances and how they manage them.
If you feel your child would benefit from this support, please speak to the School Pastoral Lead or Headteacher.
