What’s this for?

Now more than ever, talking about mental health is extremely important. This unit of work has been designed to help pupils understand more about managing their health and wellbeing and to equip them with useful strategies for becoming more confident and effective learners. In doing so, this unit of work will help you to ease their transition from KS3 to KS4.

Based on the latest neuroscience research, our lesson pack consists of three units covering emotional wellbeing, mental health, personal development, and effective revision strategies.

Topics:

Unit One: Health and Wellbeing
