Goal Setting & Restorative Practices

WOOP Plan

WOOP is a simple, evidence-based strategy that helps turn goals into action.

• W – Wish: What is something you would like to achieve or improve?
  
  

• O – Outcome: What is the best thing that would happen if your wish came true?
  
  

• O – Obstacle: What might get in the way (inside you or around you)?
  
  

• P – Plan: What will you do if that obstacle shows up?
  (If ___ happens, then I will ___.)
  
  

WOOP is a powerful tool for individual and group goal setting, as well as restorative conversations, supporting reflection, problem-solving, and positive next steps.

The VIA Character Strengths Survey is a free, science-backed tool that helps Year 5/6 students identify their personal strengths — the positive qualities they use in learning, friendships, and everyday challenges. An adult creates the account on behalf of the child, making it safe and age-appropriate. Understanding strengths supports confidence, self-awareness, and positive wellbeing, and provides a great foundation for reflection and goal setting.
