BEST 4 LEARNING
Creating a world where every child develops the courage to follow their heart and intuition, the
resilience to overcome fears and obstacles and the ability to speak out and be heard.
BEST 4Learning was founded in 2014 by Julia Johnstons and Vicky Lambert. Their mission is to help
young people develop the skills that are needed to thrive in today’s society; Resilience, Empathy,
Emotional Control, Self-Awareness and Self-Esteem.
BEST teaches children to understand how their unique brain works and how their thoughts and feelings
create their actions, giving them strategies to overcome the Anxieties and Challenges that they face in
today’s world.
BEST now reaches hundreds of children in schools across West London, through BEST Clubs. After
school clubs for primary children teaching social and emotional skills through games, art and drama.
BEST creates workshops for both primary and secondary schools. Following the requirement of Ofsted in
providing effective pastoral support our bespoke programmes for young people focus around developing
positive mental health, taking control of anxiety, smooth transition into secondary, and understanding
respect and consent.
BEST also provides 1-1 interactive sessions, tailored to teach, and provide strategies for a child’s
individual challenges, such as Anxiety, Self-Confidence, Sensory Processing, Dyslexia and Asperger’s.
BEST Table Talks transfers the learning through to the parents. Around the kitchen table we discuss the
knowledge behind their child’s brain development and strategies to help overcome parenting challenges
from toddler, to tween to teen.

Transition Workshops
I like learning stuff about us that we don’t learn in school such as the brain and you overcome our fears and why we get angry”. Macy, Year 6
I loved the ‘bouncing back’ on the space hoppers. We raced up and down the room to make us think about not giving up. We laughed so much! I have to remember that when I get angry with my maths.” Kavarie, Year 4
I think that BEST Club is the best! Sam Year 1
BEST Clubs
“A great session. As a girl, I really do wish my friends and I had a session like this
about boundaries and consent. It really would have helped my friends and I in our
teens. You’re both so kind and calm too which really helps the girls feel more
confident” Year 6 Teacher
“Vicky and Julia were great with the girls, it was good to see how they built on
consent with the popcorn and kissing. The girls felt open to be honest and ask
questions. There were great scenarios and role play” Year 6 Teacher
