We teach Decider Skills as part of our approach to supporting emotional wellbeing and self-regulation. These practical, evidence-based strategies help children recognise their feelings, understand their behaviours and make positive choices. The skills are simple, memorable and designed to empower pupils to manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Through regular teaching and reinforcement across the school, children learn techniques such as STOPP, breathing exercises and helpful self-talk. These skills support resilience, emotional awareness and positive relationships. Decider Skills are part of our wider commitment to nurturing wellbeing, promoting kindness and helping every child thrive both in school and in life.
