Emotional, Literacy, Support (ELSA)

n school, we are fortunate to have a trained Emotional Literacy Support assistant in Mrs Collings.  She is able to offer emotional literacy sessions which support children in understanding their emotions.

There will always be children and young people in schools facing life challenges that detract from their ability to engage with learning. Some will require greater support to increase their emotional literacy than others. ELSA is an initiative developed and supported by educational psychologists.

It recognises that children learn better and are happier in school if their emotional needs are also addressed.
