Strategies for working with bereaved pupils in school
A free face-to-face bereavement workshop from Child Bereavement UK
This in-depth practical workshop has been developed using theories of grief and drawing on the experiences of young people. Attendees will explore a range of strategies to support bereaved pupils and develop confidence when talking to young people about death and grief. There will be opportunities to consider procedures within school which promote a bereavement aware culture. This workshop is suitable for all staff working with bereaved pupils in schools.
Did you know that 1 in 29 pupils aged 5-16 are bereaved of a parent or sibling? Despite this, death and grief are often seen as taboo subjects and therefore are not discussed in school. The education professionals we support often tell us they worry about saying the wrong thing to their bereaved pupils. If you would like to feel more confident in supporting your bereaved pupils, then come along to our free workshop.
Places are limited and will be allocated on receipt of completed https://forms.office.com/e/XkJ6tvwjGW form.

Children’s Yoga Sessions
Wriggly Wellness
Ofsted have also stated ‘children were lacking confidence especially when taking part in group activities and there continues to be an impact on children’s physical and mental development’. I offer Childrens yoga and mindfulness classes for ages 2-17. These can be used at PE lessons, clubs, or one-off sessions for wellbeing days. My sessions are fun and engaging and include, yoga games and flows, mindful activities, and relaxation techniques.
Yoga has many benefits including:
- Focus.
- Concentration + memory. (all providing a better academic performance)
- Teaches discipline.
- Promotes positive self-esteem.
- FUN!!
This has shown in my sessions before, see below quote from a current parent and service provider I work with:
“My son has a high level of energy due to his SEN. Wriggly Wellness has given him a space in which he can centre himself, have fun and feel valued. He loves Rhiannon and really looks forward to his Yoga sessions. The members of the group foster a caring and welcoming atmosphere. I always see a definite change in my son’s behaviour after sessions. He always seems calmer and extremely happy. Thank you wriggly wellness!”
I charge £25 for 30mins or £40 for an hour .
