A free online toolkit has been launched to help primary schools support the mental health of their pupils as they adjust to a new school environment post-lockdown.

The toolkit is aimed at building children’s resilience, self-esteem and kindness and includes practical resources such as lesson ideas for smaller class sizes and to use outdoors.

Suitable for the early year and key stages 1 and 2, it also offers ideas for parents to help prepare their children for a return to school.

The resources are from Coram Life Education’s online SCARF programme, which promotes the values of safety, caring, achievement, resilience and friendship.

The toolkit provides any teacher who signs up for it with six weeks of lesson and assembly resources from SCARF, focusing each week on a different SCARF value and ending with a celebration week.
