Building Skills at Home
There’s never been a more important time to be building these skills. Being confident in all eight essential skills can support your child’s social and wellbeing, their learning outcomes and their future employability. There are so many ways that you can support your child to build these skills at home, simply by talking, playing games and doing activities together. This resource provides guidance on how to use the Skills Builder Universal framework in class and remotely, along with content for you to share directly with parents and carers to support building the skills at home.
Gagle Brook Primary School works with The Skills Builder Partnership to ensure every learner has opportunities to build eight essential skills to support them now and in the future.
Research has shown that building these eight essential skills can support the emotional wellbeing and academic success of children and young people, as well as preparing them for life beyond school. Skills Builder has developed a Universal Framework that breaks each of these essential skills down into 16 teachable steps. We use this framework to teach and practise each of the eight skills at the appropriate level throughout school life.
