‘Helping children make healthy choices’

Local charity SCARF Life Education Wessex & Thames Valley is a Delivery Partner of the UK’s leading health, drug and emotional wellbeing education programme, Coram SCARF. We help to effectively communicate healthy lifestyle messages and empower children aged 3-11 with the knowledge, skills and self-confidence to make positive healthy decisions and stay safe in schools across:

Wessex - Devon & Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, and Somerset
Thames Valley - Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and East Swindon

Our programmes are delivered under the strapline ‘Helping Children Make Healthy Choices’. Trained Educators use evidence-based, interactive, creative methods and resources to stimulate curiosity and imagination, and where a positive, fun-filled experience helps children to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to make their own positive choices about their physical and emotional health.

Why we do it

"In our recent OFSTED visit, having Coram SCARF as our PSHE scheme gave us the confidence to know that we were meeting all statutory requirements alongside giving our children the skills they need to develop into healthy, happy young people. All our other PD and Wellbeing offers are built around the strong core of SCARF. The inspectors were impressed at how our offers link together so well, this is developed from using our half-termly SCARF focus to guide our assemblies, visitors and timings of events. The inspectors commented on a year 5 RSE lesson being one of the 'strongest lessons they saw'. Staff had taken inspiration and confidence from the RSE workshop day for year 6 to develop their lesson for year 5."
