Year 7
This phase of the project aims to embed the themes introduced in the year 6 resources, and develop the attitudes, behaviours and thinking needed to make Year 7 a huge success.
There will be 10 short videos released throughout the autumn term. Please watch, share, discuss and apply. Later on, we will work with groups of year 7s and train them up as ‘positivity ambassadors’. They will prepare their own videos and mini training sessions to take back into their primary schools.
