Your Child's BOUNCE Skills

Find out about the 10 core resilience skills that your child will learn at school as part of the whole school BOUNCE Programme.

By creating a shared language and repeated messages between home and school, we are enabling and supporting children to use and embed science based, practical life long skills to look after their mental health, calm big feelings, face challenges confidently, and thrive in life.

Together we can make the biggest difference in helping our children to learn and grow skills for emotional wellbeing!
