Peer Mediation

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

We have been working with Peaceworks and a team from across the academy trust to train staff and children in mediation skills. 

Peer Mediation is a life-skill which we hope will provide all our children with another way to sort out life’s little hiccups.  The scheme is used widely in other schools in Schoolsworks and was pioneered at Edward Bryant where it has been working successfully since 2003.

Our team of Year 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.
