This presentation for pupils has been created with 11-12 year olds in mind. It aims to help young people to recognise their emotions, provides helpful advice on developing strategies for handling them and talks about how to be a good friend to others. It’s packed full of practical questions and activities which will get your students thinking!
Featuring slides on various topics including sleep, anxiety, physical activity, body image, being in nature, social media and the importance of breakfast, this series of slides can be used during form time or PSHE to prompt older teens to discuss various issues impacting on the wellbeing of young people. Each topic contains some thought provoking statistics and facts, along with a set of questions to initiate class discussion.

Tooled Up founder Dr Weston is joined by English teacher and examiner, Patrick Cragg, and Debi Roberts, CEO of suicide prevention charity, The OLLIE Foundation.

In May 2022, the UK government published guidance on maintaining high levels of school attendance. This checklist, produced by attendance expert Victoria Franklin can be used to create a school policy which meets the new requirements.
In this follow-up to Dr Weston’s interview with educational consultant Victoria Franklin, they meet again to talk in detail about the requirements in the new government guidance on school attendance. Victoria provides schools with some helpful tips on what they can do now to prepare for when the guidance becomes legislation.
This document was produced in response to a request from teachers for guidance in the handling of sensitive topics in Of Mice and Men. We hope it helps!

It is intended for use by school practitioners (such as teachers, school pastoral and support staff, educational and school psychologists, and school counsellors) and others who wish to identify highly test anxious students who may benefit from support or intervention, or to evaluate changes in test anxiety before and after intervention.
