Introduction

Peer Support in the Primary Playground introduces a programme of peer support when tackling playground fighting and conflict resolution. The problem solving approaches are designed to reduce playground conflict by encouraging children to use social skills and support classmates.

Benefits

Peer Support in the Primary Playground will help you to:

• develop the emotional and personal skills of the supporters and those they help
• enhance the social skills of interaction and citizenship among children
• promote self-confidence, problem-solving skills and an ‘I can do’ attitude in children
• promote an ethos of responsibility, care for others and humanity within the school
• provide positive role-models within the school
• support the school in becoming a safer, more peaceful and caring environment
• reduce bullying and antisocial behaviour within the school
• improve the self-esteem of students
• reduce the number of incidents that are unnecessarily reported to staff
• reduce potential stress for both pupils and staff.

Summary of contents

Increasingly, schools are working very closely with pupils to help them develop the skills needed to take charge of their own actions and encourage responsible attitudes towards others. The programme detailed in this book, ‘Playground Champions’, is a primary peer support initiative that, when properly implemented, can help to develop confidence and improve self-esteem in pupils as well as improve behaviour and reduce stress, leading to a happier and healthier school environment. 

The Peer Support in the Primary Playground programme is structured, easy to follow and can be used by teachers and teaching assistants within the school. It fits into current national initiatives including Every Child Matters (ECM), social and emotional aspects of learning (SEAL) and citizenship and National Healthy Schools. It can also add to the evidence required for the school’s disability equality scheme by showing that the school is committed to disability equality and eliminating bullying, as well as demonstrating good practice for the annual school self-evaluation form (SEF).
