MENTAL WELLBEING AS A SUBJECT

Home Education groups 

Home education gives children the opportunity to learn about the world around them. We think they should have the opportunity to learn about themselves, too.

​

The Children’s Psychology Hub brings psychology into education through a developmental curriculum exploring emotions, thoughts, relationships, self-awareness, confidence, flexibility, coping and the practical skills involved in growing up.

​

For children and young people aged 5–16, with learning that develops in depth and complexity as children grow.

​

Each term stands alone, so children can join throughout the year, while the wider curriculum builds progressively over time.
