Inspire Ignite joined forces with a famous local author and a very talented illustrator to develop a series of 8 books for parents/carers to read with their children. They can be used as an aid for engaging children in conversations about their emotions and wellbeing as well as simply being enjoyed for their amazing stories.
This pair of friendly, specially commissioned characters have been designed to help our younger students on their self-esteem journey. They make regular appearances in the books and audio CD’s and are also available as soft toy learning tools. They can make a very tactile and positive contribution to our younger learners’ development.
"Our feedback is that the Inspire Ignite programme has supported the mental well being of our students.”
"The sessions were really interactive and pitched at a level that was easy to understand, but not patronisingly basic. There was plenty of time to go over questions and misunderstandings in a meaningful way. Staff members have all reported enjoying the sessions and found them really useful.”
