Despite the recent change in Government resulting in shifting priorities, building social skills and developing emotional understanding are still essential for raising pupils’ achievement, improving behaviour and increasing attendance levels in school. It is vital that you and your colleagues are integrating SEAL on a whole-school level to raise standards.
The 4th annual Primary SEAL conference will provide you with practical guidance on embedding SEAL across your whole-school to create an environment that promotes these skills and encourages pupils to practice them. You will have the opportunity to learn straightforward, focused learning techniques to disseminate amongst your workforce and ensure that every member of staff uses SEAL to advance learning and raise achievement in your school.
