Every year, we recruit a group of children from Year 5 to train to become Shine Leaders. Shine Leaders act as a peer mediator, helping their peers to solve friendship issues and disagreements at playtimes and lunchtimes.
The Shine Leaders undertake an intensive 6-week training programme, exploring what makes a good peer mediator, role-playing different scenarios and becoming more confident.
Once trained, and in Year 6, our Shine Leaders will be available every playtime and lunchtime to assist their peers. You can spot them easily as they will be wearing their blue Shine Leader jackets. They are here to help!
