BrightSparks Commissioned to Deliver Emotional Resilience Training to Year 6 Pupils, Parents and Carers in Selby

While year 6 can be a time of excitement for many children, it can also be a time of stress. SATs, the prospect of changing of schools and the possibility of moving away from friends can cause emotional stress to build in pupils. Our training aims to support children during this time of change by helping pupils to build their emotional resilience and increase their confidence and wellbeing.
