The Centre

PSS Kennoway is based within Kennoway Primary School. We support pupils to develop their emotional literacy and social skills.

We work together with pupils, their parents or carers and other adults to help put strategies in place to help with self-regulation and managing behaviour.

Our Vision & Values

At PSS, we are guided by our three values: safety, respect, and resilient.
These values are at the heart of everything we do — shaping our learning environment, our relationships, and our approach to supporting every child. We believe that when everyone feels safe, are  respectful, and learn to be resilient, they are empowered to thrive both in school and beyond.

Our vision, "Ready to Succeed", reflects our commitment to preparing all learners for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Through nurturing these values, we aim to build a community where every child feels confident, supported, and equipped to reach their full potential.

Outdoor Ed 

At Kennoway we don’t just learn in the classroom.  Every week we go on Outdoor Ed. During Outdoor Learning sessions we spend time exploring the local environment. Don’t worry we provide the waterproofs and wellies.

Swimming

On Wednesday afternoons and Friday mornings we go swimming. We learn about water safety, as well as learning all the different swimming strokes. Swimming exercises your body from head to toe and is a great life skill to have. 

Meta Skills

At PSS, we recognise the importance of developing our Meta Skills, a set of essential capabilities that help learners adapt, grow, and thrive in an ever-changing world. These skills include creativity, curiosity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication, among others. To ensure these skills are meaningfully embedded in our learning, we focus on  different meta-skills each week. This allows children to explore and practise each skill in depth, making connections to their learning across the curriculum. By doing so, we help pupils become confident problem-solvers, effective communicators, and resilient individuals. Meta-skills go beyond academic knowledge; they support children in understanding themselves as learners, making informed choices, and navigating challenges with independence.

RMS Titanic

 This term, our class will be diving into the fascinating and tragic story of the RMS Titanic. Through this topic, pupils will explore a wide range of learning experiences across the curriculum. 

So far we have:

• Investigated where the Titanic was built, who built her, and who owned her
• Explored what working in the shipyard would have looked and felt like
• Completed job applications for roles at Harland & Wolff
• Created a sound story to capture the atmosphere of the shipyard
• Produced atmospheric artwork inspired by Harland & Wolff’s iconic yellow cranes
• Learned about the life and work of Thomas Andrews
• Created detailed line drawings of the Titanic
