All About Me

This All About Me printable is a simple, thoughtful way to get to know your pupils - especially those who find it hard to communicate their feelings or needs. It’s designed to be completed with parents or carers, so you can build a full picture of each child from the people who know them best.

Perfect for SEN, nurture, ELSA or transition work, this sheet helps staff understand what each pupil enjoys, what helps them feel safe, and how they show different emotions.

What’s Inside:

A clear, one-page template with space for:
Name and age
Favourite things
Things they find tricky
Things that help them
What they look like when they are happy, calm or content
What they look like when they are anxious, frustrated or upset

Parents can fill in the sheet or work through it with their child using photos, drawings or visuals, making it fully accessible for non-verbal or pre-verbal learners.

Why Teachers Love It:

Helps you understand each child’s unique cues and preferences
Builds stronger, more trusting relationships between home and school
Encourages empathy and consistent support across staff
Great for transitions, pupil profiles and EHCP evidence
Quick to complete but packed with insight

Backed by Research:

“Students will not respond to strategies if they don’t trust us.”
— Leslie Blome, Practical Strategies

“Problem behaviour is often an attempt to regulate arousal or simply the outward expression of an inward state.”
— Janzem & Jenko (2012)

When we understand what’s behind a child’s behaviour and how they communicate, we can support them in ways that truly work.

Perfect For:

SEN / SEND classrooms
Nurture or ELSA work
Transition or home-school introductions
EHCP meetings and pupil profiles
Non-verbal and pre-verbal learners
