Getting to know your child
All our courses are run in small groups. This ensures our Role Model can get to know each child individually.
To help with this, before the course begins, we ask you to answer a few questions about your child and any specific needs they might have. We will also ask about food allergies, medical conditions and any additional needs that our Role Model needs to know about.
It will only take a minute or two, and it ensures our Role Model has all the information they need to ensure your child has the best experience possible.
Meet some of our inspirational Role Models

- Each day you will receive a summary email, describing what was covered so you can discuss it with your child. We'll include a link to a personal web-page with photos and videos of your child taking part in the activities (if consent has been given).
- At the end of the course you'll receive a set of top-tips on how you can support the development of life skills at home.
- Your child will receive a branded official certificate to recognise completion of the course.
- After the course has finished, you'll receive follow up videos, that you can watch with your child. These aim to remind your child of the key course themes.

How has the content been developed?
Our courses follow an education framework developed by teachers, education experts and business leaders. This framework, based on the work of the Partnership for 21st century learning', defines the skills and knowledge that children need to thrive at school, at home and beyond.
Our courses have been written by our Character Education team who are highly qualified educators with over 24 years of teaching experience. Our content emphasises the importance of developing essential key life skills alongside academic attainment, in order to thrive in life.
Who delivers the content?
Our highly experienced team of Role Models are passionate about both education and social & emotional wellbeing. They’re energetic, engaging and curious. They’re adept at combining educational rigour with fun, to create active learning environments that children love. All have been interviewed by our Recruitment Team and are reference and DBS checked.
Can I enrol two children onto the same course or club?
Yes of course! Contact us for information about multi-buy and referral discounts.
What type of child is this course designed for?
Our courses are not designed only for those who may be struggling with specific life skills. We believe all children can build on these essential skills in order to reach their full potential. Your child may need a boost in confidence, to strengthen their resilience or they may just need an opportunity to go outside of their comfort zone and challenge themselves by working with new people.
