BEST Workshops takes the pressure away from teachers and creates a PHSE programme that focuses on teaching strategies to help children overcome social and emotional obstacles that would normally hinder their learning.

Our workshops are delivered within the classroom, creating a highly motivated and interactive hour lesson through games, art activities and drama.

We create an interactive understanding of the workings of their brain, where children can learn about how their thoughts and feelings create their behaviour and focus on strategies to overcome these.

“I enjoyed these lessons because they helped me be more confident in both my primary and secondary school.  It helped me to be more confident with my opinion” Year 6 Pupil

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
