Jenny Mosley's quality circle time model involves establishing an on-going, timetabled process of circle-meetings for adults and children. As a basis for teaching relationship skills, enhancing self-esteem and building a positive behaviour management and anti-bullying policy, circle time should not only increase confidence and "emotional intelligence" in pupils, but should also contribute towards a positive whole-school ethos.This classic text provides a rationale, framework and whole-school model for quality circle time specifically for secondary schools and further education colleges. Fully revised and updated, the authors offer over 100 activities and practical strategies to help build teachers' confidence and circle time skills. The book aims to enable teachers to sustain this approach within their SEAL syllabus, tutorial time, subject teaching, or as part of their work with pupils with special educational needs.

This timely resource presents Jenny Mosley's acclaimed Circle Time model specifically adapted for secondary education, offering a structured, powerful and compassionate approach to rebuilding human connection among teenagers. In an era of increasing digital isolation and mental health challenges, Mosley provides educators with practical tools to create spaces where students feel truly seen, heard and valued. Building on decades of pioneering work in both primary and secondary schools, inside this book you will find: * A complete framework for implementing Circle Time in secondary settings - from Year 7 through to Year 11. * Practical, age-appropriate activities, games and discussion prompts that engage even the most reluctant teenagers. * Behaviour strategies rooted in restorative practice - helping students take responsibility and rebuild relationships. * Tools to build a positive school ethos, improve classroom climate, and boost mental health and motivation. * Real-life examples and success stories that show the power of Circle Time in action - from disengaged teens becoming peer mentors to entire year groups forming tighter bonds. Endorsed by empirical research which links social-emotional learning to academic success, the approach balances emotional literacy with practical skill development. Jenny Mosley doesn't just offer a programme - she offers a philosophy: one where students are not just taught but truly seen, where emotional literacy is not a luxury but a necessity, and where schools become safe spaces for teenagers to grow into capable, compassionate adults.

School counselors, educational psychologists and wellbeing coordinators will also find practical strategies they can immediately implement to support teenagers in developing the communication skills and emotional resilience needed to thrive in today's complex world.
