PATHS - Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies

We are offering the opportunity for your school to develop PATHS as a whole approach from September 2017.

PATHS is an evidence based, social and emotional programme for all pupils aged 5 to 11 designed to improve:

  • self-control
  • emotional understanding
  • positive self esteem
  • relationship skills
  • interpersonal problem-solving skills

Norfolk PATHS schools have seen:

  • 21.3% to 33% improvement in social and emotional competence
  • 20.4% to 25.7% improvement in pro-social skills
  • 17.4% improvement in concentration and attention

Schools are supported to develop a whole school approach through:

  • Structured PATHS curriculum with regular support from a PATHS Coach
  • Training for all staff and support for lunchtime staff
  • Parent and carer engagement
  • Networking opportunities to share good practice
  • Support to evaluate the impact of PATHS on pupils

To discuss this further please contact the PATHS team: 01603 303334
