Grief Awareness Week ASSEMBLY

Children are naturally curious about life, loss, and change, yet grief is something many schools find difficult to discuss. This whole-school Grief Awareness Week Assembly provides a gentle, age-appropriate way to help pupils understand grief, develop empathy, and learn how to support themselves and others when someone they care about is experiencing loss.

Created by a former head teacher and grief recovery specialist, this assembly uses child-friendly language, engaging visuals, and thoughtful discussion points to explore what grief is, the many different reasons people may grieve, and why everyone’s feelings and experiences are unique. The focus is on understanding, kindness, hope, and the importance of talking about emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

The package includes a fully editable assembly presentation with high-quality images, designed for primary-aged children. Ideal for Grief Awareness Week, PSHE, wellbeing initiatives, mental health awareness, or supporting a school community following bereavement or significant change.

A sensitive, professional resource that helps schools create a culture where children feel safe to talk, listen, remember, and support one another.
