School Engagement Programme
About the Programme
This programme was designed for students who find it difficult to engage at school. With a focus on success and the importance of education, we are able to provide students with a comfortable environment in which to regain a love for school and an appreciation for education.
Carefully crafted student workbooks help to keep track of progression

Programme Breakdown

Each of the 10 sessions that make up the School Engagement Programme have been designed to help students explore aspects of their education. These session range from identifying the consequences of poor school engagement to ensuring academic success. Because of the careful structure of each session, students are always able to learn, implement and reflect on the new things they have learned each week.


The School Engagement Programme, like all our programmes, comes with a full-colour workbook packed with fun and insightful activities. This workbook will become a working journal for the young people who take part in the programme, monitoring their progress and allowing individuals to reflect on the new skills they have learned. This book will be taken home by the students at the end of the programme.


Another unique benefit of Strengthening Minds are our interactive sessions, giving facilitators access to a wealth of tools and games which help support and promote learning. Each session follows the content of the book, meaning that the programme is easy to deliver and simple to follow. Our interactive sessions also give facilitators access to meditation activities, hint support for struggling students and class timers to keep learning quick and impactful.


An exciting and innovative part of our School Engagement programme is our Confidence Activities. These give students the space to explore and control their emotions during a physical activity. Each week, our students are given are given time to demonstrate the skills they have learned in the session. This helps them to visualise the outcomes of positive behaviour before they implement these skills in the classroom.

The impact on the students has been remarkable, with improved attendance, behaviour, attitude and composure. Our students couldn’t speak highly enough of the programme and simply did not want it to end
What our young people are saying about
the School Engagement Programme?


We measure the impact of the School Engagement programme through student attainment and feedback from staff regarding levels of self-esteem in the classroom. This allows us to really monitor the impact of the programme. In all cases, we see a significant rise in student attainment and meaningful change in terms of confidence in the classroom.
​
Each student is able to take home the workbook that they complete within the 10 sessions, giving them a journal of their progress and a collation of strategies to help them manage their self-esteem. This inevitably produces fantastic results for the young people that we work with and allows them to revisit the learning at any point.
