Does it work?

It certainly does, and we have proof!

A peer-reviewed, large-scale, randomized control trial (RCT) found that just 18 lessons of Connect significantly improves children’s wellbeing. 

You’ll find very few wellbeing curriculums in the world able to make such a statement.

We have testimonials too!

“I found everything to like about the Connect Curriculum. It is evidence informed, positive, values driven and a rich, detailed, and teacher friendly resource that has been carefully crafted to fit in with the latest guidance."

Professor Katherine Weare
Emeritus Professor, University of Southampton

“The model provides clear language for the children to express their thoughts clearly and the interactive approach has been extremely inclusive and engaging."

Emily Rose-Daverson
Year 5 Teacher

“It has been inspiring to see the children developing a clear sense of their world and how they can better manage their thoughts, feelings, happiness and contribution to their community."

Year 5 Teacher

“The lesson plans were clear and simple to follow and had bright and engaging visuals to compliment the lesson. I can see that these lesson plans could free up a lot of teacher time and reduce stress, enabling them to prepare for the lesson in less time and spend quality time with the students in the class during the lessons."
