As well as offering a range of high quality resources for sale, we also offer, lead and support a wide range of programmes for schools, both in and out of Cambridgeshire. Our programmes enable schools to develop more than just their curriculum delivery and are focused on changing attitudes, developing skills and strengthening knowledge to affect real change in children’s lives. Many of our programmes involve working with partners in schools and with other organisations which aim to enhance health and wellbeing in our communities.

Health Related Behaviour Survey

The HRBS is a highly regarded, national survey of young people’s attitudes and behaviour. It is run by Schools Health Education Unit. Subscribing primary schools in Cambridgeshire are annually offered participation in the survey at a subsided rate. Secondary schools in Cambridgeshire participate in the survey every two years. We work closely with our colleagues in Public Health in facilitating the survey and ensuring that the findings impact on wellbeing in schools and the wider community.

Promoting Healthy Friendships

This curriculum intervention programme is designed to support the development of positive relationships between children. It supports them to explore the complexities of their friendships including why they sometimes fall out and engage in destructive behaviours such as relational aggression and bullying. The programme equips children to deal with difficulties between friends in an appropriate and constructive manner.

Conflict Resolution and Peer Mediation

This empowering whole school programme teaches all children how to use simple conflict resolution processes so that they can resolve minor conflicts peacefully and independently. The programme also enables schools to train peer mediators and establish a peer mediation service.
