SEAL

No, I am not talking about those furry little creatures.
No, this SEAL refers to the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning.
SEAL is a voluntary programme designed to develop the social and emotional skills of all pupils.





There are five skill groups:
1.self-awareness
2. managing feelings
3. empathy
4. motivation
5. social skills

Why do we need to teach these skills?
Think back to your own youth - these are high levels skills which need to be developed - not easy when you are a hormone-fulled teenager.
But these skills are vital to help pupils learn effectively while they are at school and become responsible citizens of the future.
