About the Programme
What if you could empower your students with a lasting understanding about their wellbeing that could support them through the challenges that lie ahead?
This preventative programme builds on the introductory ignite foundation course. Our 9-11 programme is designed to address Year 5 and 6 needs, and is delivered across 11 dynamic sessions using interactive classroom activities to drive discussion and gain understanding. Children learn how they can thrive whatever their challenges, such as transitioning to secondary school.

I had the pleasure to watch one of the sessions last week, and the impact of the work has been incredible. In the short time I was able to spend within a class, I witnessed a young girl, who I have not heard speak to an adult in 18 months, giving a profound response on why bullies do not define who you are.

I would build an imaginary brick wall that I couldn’t get over. Now I see that it’s just a wall within my mind.

The girls have developed a very helpful understanding of how their thinking influences their response to events, which has helped them to think and react more positively to these events. The curriculum is taught through fun, simple and innovative activities. The team were highly recommended to us, and the girls and staff here certainly endorse that recommendation.
