Welltown is aimed at Key Stage 1 pupils, aged 5 - 7 years, and covers the main areas of personal, social and health education (PSHE) and citizenship set out in the National Curriculum, the framework for PSHE and citizenship and the National Healthy School Standard. The site is designed to be used by children in schools but the activities can easily be used at home too. The activities work best if explained and discussed with an adult initially but once children are familiar with the games, they can continue alone or in small groups.
