Circles for Learning is a unique project for KS1-KS3 and because of this the Teachers who introduce it into the classroom tend to be unique as well. Those who train as Circles for Learning Practitioners are looking for something special that is new, research based, exciting and ignites children’s interest. They are Teachers, Heads, Wellbeing Leads, Teaching Assistants, and Emotional Literacy Assistants who believe that classrooms need to support the development of the key areas that develop positive mental health and wellbeing as well as academic growth.
