Back to School Plan | Confidence, Goal Setting, Anxiety Support (PDF Download)

Help children and teenagers begin the school year feeling more confident, prepared and in control with My Back to School Plan.

This visual planner gives young people space to think about what they want from the year ahead, recognise the strengths they already have and prepare for situations that may feel challenging. It combines practical school preparation with confidence, self-belief, goal setting and emotional wellbeing.

The central illustrated character and clear mind-map layout make the resource engaging without feeling childish. It is particularly suitable for visual learners and young people who find a blank page, traditional planner or long written exercise difficult to approach.

Students can use the planner to explore:

goals for the school year;

things they are looking forward to;

strengths they can rely on;

practical ways to prepare;

ways to look after themselves;

personal challenges to try;

daily choices and reminders;

end-of-day reflection.

The My Challenges Today – I Dare Me To… section encourages manageable confidence-building actions, such as speaking to somebody new, asking for help, trying something unfamiliar or putting themselves forward.

The planner can be printed as a striking A2 poster for a bedroom, classroom, study area or wellbeing space. It can also be printed at A3 or A4 for individual completion.
