Feedback from Mereside Primary School…
“Having a resilience committee in school has not only given children a voice but also given them a sense of responsibility in school, they can see that from their discussions they can make real changes to school life. Our committee is made up of a mix of children from high ability, low ability, children with complex difficulties and also children with high levels of anxiety who previously worried about coming to school. They have all grown in confidence and are glowing with pride not only about the work they have all contributed to so far but also about the future projects that they will be running”
