The themes
• A theme overview includes links to other areas of the curriculum.
• In each theme there are suggested stories and activities for a whole-school assembly, with follow-up suggestions for future assemblies.
• The assemblies are broadly secular and do not include any elements of worship, so other arrangements need to be made to meet the requirements of collective worship.

Using SEAL• One or more staff meetings before each theme, using the
Purple Set activities in a flexible way, to ensure consistency, knowledge, understanding and confidence
• A 30 minute assembly to launch each theme• Dedicated sessions over the half term using the SEAL
materials in a flexible way to develop social, emotional and behavioural skills for each theme – about 4 hours in total
• Use of ideas for following up the theme in a number of curriculum areas, and possible use of the exemplar lessons
• A follow-up assembly to share work undertaken and successes in achieving learning outcomes

A whole school approach
• For maximum effectiveness, it is essential that the whole school community engages with the materials.
• All classes should be thinking about the same ideas and using a shared language over the same period of time.
• SEAL needs to be embedded within a whole school approach and environment that supports emotional health and well-being.
