The toolkit, launched by Coram Life Education, will help primary school teachers to support pupils’ mental health as they adjust to the new school environment – many settings have been redesigned to incorporate social distancing measures to restrict the interaction between pupils and with staff.
The charity says time away from school may have set children back academically, and affected their emotional and social wellbeing, whilst teachers are preparing to adapt to the new constraints of social distancing, reduced class sizes and stretched resources.
The toolkit is designed to build children’s resilience, self-esteem and kindness and includes practical resources in line with new government guidance, such as lesson ideas for smaller class sizes and to use outdoors. It also includes adaptations for parents and carers of children who are home-schooled and in preparation for a return to school.
