At the end of the summer, the Friends of Hythe Primary agreed to contribute the funds raised at the Summer Fair to the refurbishment of the Emotional Learning Support Assistance room (or E.L.S.A. for short) in the school. It has been completely redecorated & transformed from an unloved office environment into a colourful, child-friendly room.
The emotional support provided helps the children (who currently make up 10% of our pupils,) to feel safe and listened to and assists them in finding techniques to manage their feelings. This helps to improve their behaviour, which in turn benefits the whole school community. The room is also used as quiet area and for occupational therapy.
