The program has been extremely beneficial for many of our pupils, and we are sure it will continue to be for many more. It has offered alternatives to timetables and reduced exclusions through positive mentoring.
By participation in the program, our pupils have also developed trust, self-esteem, resilience, confidence, and the skills required to work successfully as part of a team. In turn, this has improved attendance, engagement, achievement, and attainment.”
