It takes account of the social and cultural contexts of children’s lives and schooling, as well as their individual growth and development. Here at Manchester Met, we are working with key partners in services, schools and communities across Greater Manchester and beyond to create a vibrant place for study. This course will bring psychological theory and research to life by looking at its influence in key areas for education. Our course themes reflect priorities shared with our partners and with local and national policy-makers: school readiness; inclusive cultures of practice; and health and wellbeing.
