ELSA

What is ELSA?

ELSA is an intervention which is trained by the EP service. ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant) is the person who runs ELSA sessions which are a number of sessions individually designed and aimed  to support pupils to understand and recognise their emotions and support them with strategies to cope in a more productive manner. ELSA can support pupils and staff but we are only human we can't 'fix' the difficulties which some pupils have.

Each class has 2 Wellbeing Ambassadors. They can be identified by their green badge. These children work with Mr Moreton, Mrs Wainwright and Mrs Hackett to support other children with emotional wellbeing and mental health and use pupil voice to listen to children in school.
