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).
