Schools In Focus
Tweeddale Primary School Palace for Life Foundation’s Teammates programme has been running at Tweeddale Primary School for the last two years for pupils in Years 4-6. The programme helps to build resilience and also addresses and improves children’s mental health and social skills. Pupils who attend the programme are from a range of backgrounds and cultures. Some pupils may be socially excluded young carers or suffer from a lack of confidence and low self-esteem. The programme also caters for those with ASD and ADHD. Running over a 24-week period, Teammates covers a range of topics such as mentoring, happiness, setting personal goals, practising gratitude and thinking positively. From March 2021 the Foundation will also be working with children who are due to start Secondary School, helping them prepare for this transition.
