They learn the importance of making mistakes and using resilience to manage difficult situations.
LOVE
Children learn to understand the imiportance of giving and receiving love; how this makes others feel and the iimpact this special spiritual understanding of themselves can have.

SHINE
All children should feel they are valued,loved and respected. We help our children to become confident in themselves, to celebrate their achievements no matter how small and to be given the opportunity to share their positivity with others. All interventions to support mental health promote positive wellbeing and provide children with a deeper understanding about their emotions relating to different parts of their lives so they can learn to shine.
