The Control Centre of Your Brain
The front part of our brain (the part that develops last) is
called the ‘pre-frontal cortex’.
This part of the brain is a bit like a ‘Control Centre’
because it keeps everything going smoothly.
The pre-frontal cortex is in charge of a set of an important
set of skills which scientists call 'Executive Function
Skills’. We sometimes call them ‘Control Centre Skills’.

You need these Executive Function Skills to get on
with others, learn in lessons, do homework, get jobs done
and enjoy activities outside of school.
