As a school we use Connect PSHE as a scheme of learning.
- Connect is a Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) wellbeing curriculum for primary school children.
- It is a weekly programme that teaches children key skills to promote emotional wellbeing and resilience.
- Connect combines psycho-education skills development curriculum-based interventions within schools. The scheme is highly regarded by many schools across the UK including all primaries within the Carlton Academy Trust.
- Connect was created by a group of teachers, academic, educational and clinical psychologists based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
- ACT is a mindfulness-based approach to wellbeing that focuses on psychological flexibility (being willing to experience all thoughts and feelings, even the unwanted ones, whilst still moving in the direction of one’s values)
