PATHS; (Promoting Alternative Thinking Skills)

We are offering the exciting opportunity for your school to develop PATHS from September 2015. PATHS is a whole school, evidence based early intervention programme for pupils aged 5 to 11. It is empirically proven to be successful in enhancing the social competence and social understanding of children as well as facilitating educational processes in the classroom.

Norfolk PATHS schools have seen:

  • 15% to 21% improvement in social and emotional competence and pro-social skills
  • 14% improvement in concentration

For further information on how PATHS can benefit pupils in your school and how to apply please see the attached information and attend one of our PATHS Open Afternoons.

Wednesday 11/03/15 UEA Sportspark 13.30 – 15.30
