Peer Champions

We are proud to say that we have a Peer Champions Mediation Team at the school.

Peer Mediation is a life-skill which we hope will provide all our children with another way to sort out life’s little hiccups.  

Our team of Year 5 and  6 pupils have been trained to help their peers on the playground and are easy to spot when on duty through their bright blue hi-vis jackets!

Following a clear process, disputes can be de-escalated and the parties involved satisfied that there is an agreed outcome.  Children can of course still find an adult to help them if they wish to do so.

At the beginning of the year, all children in the school take part in a series of lessons that look at how conflicts and disagreements start and how they can be de-escalated.
