Circles for Learning

Circles for Learning is an early-intervention programme for KS1–KS3 schools that builds positive foundations for children’s mental health and wellbeing: emotional literacy, relational understanding, self-awareness and resilience. By observing, engaging and interacting with a parent and their young child over the course of a year, pupils develop a deeper understanding of emotions, behaviour, relationships and themselves—helping schools create calmer, more compassionate and emotionally aware classrooms.
