HELPING PUPILS REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL

Our mission

Our positive, relatable military-style programmes have been proven to enthuse, energise and engage children, enabling them to acquire skills and enjoy experiences that stay with them for life. Our mission is to encourage strength of character, resilience and positivity under pressure, while celebrating individual successes and ensuring every participant goes away with a huge sense of achievement.

DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR LIFE

Our programmes are beneficial to pupils of all ages and abilities, equipping them with key skills to help them negotiate life’s challenges more successfully. We focus particularly on teamwork, leadership and communication, as well as boosting pupils’ confidence and resilience, and teaching them to recognise the importance of respect and self-discipline.

RE-ENGAGING PUPILS

Our Programmes

Our tailored programmes can also support teachers to reduce disruptive behaviour and promote social and emotional wellbeing. We can really make a difference to pupils who lack confidence or self-esteem, have difficulty making friends, display challenging behaviour, or who are generally falling short of what they are capable of achieving.

INSPIRING INSTRUCTORS

Most of our instructors are all serving or former-serving members of HM Armed Forces. We are committed to acting as positive role models, and our military background often incites a greater level of respect from pupils than is shown to other figures of authority, which gives us a unique advantage in communicating with them.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

We offer tailored programmes for individuals and groups, with options for both school-based and off-site packages. There is no ‘one-size- fits-all’ programme, as we always adapt what we do to meet the needs of the particular school and pupils.

Activities

Activities are all based on military exercises, but adapted to make them appropriate and engaging for young people while developing the key areas of communication, resilience, self-motivation, teamwork, leadership, self-discipline and confidence. Our Positivity Centres will provide off-site re-engagement programmes for students who are disrupting the classroom and affecting their peers’ learning. Please see our Alternative provision below

SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMMES

Our instructors can work on-site at your school to support a range of specific needs, from managing behaviour or getting pupils active through to providing practical activities that supplement the school curriculum. Working with numbers from small groups to an entire school, we will work with you to develop a programme that delivers your goals within your time frames and on budget. We have also worked with schools for their Activities Week and on Transition Days for the new intake of year 7s. As long as you have an outdoor area we can make it work.

OFF-SITE PROGRAMMES: DAY AND RESIDENTIAL CAMPS

Working away from the classroom can often be hugely beneficial to students, and it also allows us to take the training to another level. We can provide off-site training in a variety of beautiful and inspiring locations, both in the UK and abroad. These programmes provide children with vital life skills – including first aid, basic life support and survival skills – while boosting self-confidence and resilience. These can be single-day or residential programmes with accommodation available for up to 250 young people at a time.

Communication
Skills

We demonstrate the importance of clear and precise communication, as well as the value of listening. Through our programmes young people learn to become more effective communicators.

RESILIENCE

Our activities encourage young people to develop a level of resilience that will help them negotiate the challenges they encounter in school and throughout life.

03
MOTIVATION
"

We boost desire to succeed by showing young people that they can overcome limitations and achieve anything if they work hard. We also hone their initiative, so they can recognise what needs doing without being asked.

04
Team Work

We provide opportunities to work as part of a team and to step up and lead others. We teach young people to be loyal and committed to their team and expect them to treat one another with respect and courtesy at all times.

05
Leadership
"
"

By encouraging young people to act as leaders in practical group activities, we raise their confidence, boost their morale and instil a sense of self-worth.

06
Self-Disipline
"
"

Throughout every activity we emphasise the importance of good timekeeping, attendance and being someone that others can rely on not to let themselves or their team down.

07
Self-Confidence
"
"

We show young people that they can conquer their fears and achieve things they never thought possible. Individual achievements are recognised, celebrated and rewarded at every step.

08
Respect
"
"

Our instructors teach young people the importance of treating themselves and others with respect at all times. Often, those who wouldn’t normally mix come together and bond through their shared sense of achievement.
