Pedagogies of Wellbeing in the Primary School

Pedagogies of Wellbeing in the Primary School positions wellbeing as a core, shared responsibility within schools, embedded in the everyday practices of teachers and trusted adults. Rather than treating wellbeing as an add-on or separate curriculum subject, the chapters promotes a holistic, values-led pedagogy that supports children’s physical, social, and emotional development.Bringing together experts from diverse educational fields, Pedagogies of Wellbeing in the Primary School explores innovative, evidence-based approaches - such as movement-based learning, developing pupil voice through a community of enquiry, playful pedagogies, digital tools, and a pedagogy of care. Each of the 10 chapters offers theoretical grounding, reflective insights, and practical strategies for embedding wellbeing into daily teaching across age groups and subjects.A timely and essential resource for teachers, pre-service teachers, school leaders, and support staff, this volume responds to growing mental health concerns and the need for emotionally supportive classrooms. It empowers educators to create inclusive, resilient learning environments where wellbeing is not taught, but lived through pedagogy.
