In order to contribute to our students emotional health and wellbeing, Les Voies offers a weekly hand massage session by a qualified member of staff, with the consent of parents/carers.

​

• Improved calmness and concentration  

• Increased self-confidence and self esteem

• Happier and more relaxed children

• A reduction in aggressive behaviour and bullying

• A more positive attitude and greater engagement with learning

• Improved ability to work in groups and independently

• Increased awareness of the body and signs of stress and anxiety
