In England, as elsewhere in recent years, much attention in schools has been focused on promoting the social and emotional skills that are thought to underpin effective learning, positive behavior, regular attendance, and emotional wellbeing. SEAL is a comprehensive, whole-school approach to tackling these problems. The programme was first promoted in primary schools and has now transferred into the secondary sector. This study looked at the impact of small group work on children requiring more support in developing their social and emotional skills and gathered evidence about what made small group interventions work.
