ELSA Support

ELSAs are Emotional Literacy Support Assistants. They are teaching assistants who have had special training from educational psychologists to support the emotional development of children in school. ELSAs have regular professional supervision from educational psychologists to help them in their work.

We are fortunate to have three trained ELSAs in school: Mrs. Purvis, Mrs. Christian and Mrs. Dring. Teachers refer children who they think would benefit from ELSA support, after first discussing this with parents/carers.

ELSAs can support children in the following ways:

  • Loss and bereavement
  • Emotional literacy
  • Self-esteem
  • Social skills
  • Friendship issues
  • Relationships
  • Managing strong feelings
  • Anxiety and worries
  • Bullying
  • Conflict
  • Emotional regulation
  • Growth mindset
  • Social and therapeutic stories
  • Problem-solving

ELSA intervention is a short-term focused intervention with clear aims, usually half a term in length.
