Role Models is no longer trading
We'd like to thank our customers, our schools, our supporters, our team and our incredible role models for all the work they've done over the last 10 years. We end this journey thankful for the time spent helping thousands children build their confidence, develop meaningful friendships and try new things.
Learn to celebrate achievements and show confidence in different ways. Develop inner confidence in being you.
Brilliant Me & My Confidence is specifically designed to help your child:
Learn to like themselves and feel confident
Feel liked and accepted
Feel proud of what they can do
Think good things about themselves
Believe in themselves
This course uses the power of storytelling and creative activities to help children believe in themselves. 'Brilliant Billy the Bunny’ accompanies the children throughout the course to help them navigate their emotions in a fun and supportive environment.
Our pedagogy is under pinned by academic research and inspired by thought leaders in the space. Read more about our inspiration here.
Each day, two stories are shared based around the theme of confidence. Each story is followed by a creative activity which helps the children link the learning from the story to their own everyday lives. Daily mindfulness activities are included to help the children learn to manage their emotions.
The stories shared in The Brilliant Me & My Confidence course are based around the following themes:
Different ways to show confidence
Being awesome
What do I like about myself?
Finding my big voice
Doing things I might not be good at
An example story shared during the course is the charming ‘Perfectly Norman’ by Tom Percival, a bold and uplifting book about daring to be different and having the courage to dance to your own tune. The story is shared and discussed as a group, followed by an activity which explores the things that we should celebrate about ourselves. The children make their own pair of ‘wonderful wings’. decorating them with all the things that make them special.

Our team is delighted to offer this course to the children in the community of The KAUST School. KAUST is an international graduate research university on the shores of the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia.
More than 120 different nationalities live, work and study on campus, and an International Baccalaureate school provides education for more than 1800 K-12 students. The school provides the Role Models with excellent facilities to deliver our workshops – to support children to develop life skills
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.

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.
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.
Yes of course! Contact us for information about multi-buy and referral discounts.
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.
