School feedback

“We are having a Wellbeing day in October, and some of the resilience activities look great for that”.

Inclusion leader, Sutton

“It is good for cheering people up and to be kind to….make them feel better.”

“It was a good lesson because some people don’t know how to cheer themselves up.”

“Now I know what to do when my friends or someone is sad.”

Year 4 pupils after using resilience activities

“I like the fact they are 20 minutes sessions. The children engaged well (and)... found the activity child friendly.”

Deputy Headteacher and Inclusion Leader, Brent

“Our SMSC Coordinator was very impressed and said she would like to incorporate some of the activities into PHSCE lessons.”
