What is an ELSA?

ELSAs are Emotional Literacy Support Assistants. They are specialist teaching assistants with a wealth of experience of working with children. ELSAs are trained and regularly supervised by Educational Psychologists.

Their aim is to build your child’s emotional development and help them to cope with life’s challenges. The ELSA will help your child find solutions to any problems they may have.

Mrs Butler has been undergoing training since September 2024 and will soon be qualified to work with the children at our school where needed. The class teachers will work alongside Mrs Butler to select children for these sessions.
