ExploreBuilding Pupil Resilience Training
Resilient children cope better, learn better, and thrive. But resilience isn’t something children either have or don’t; it can be nurtured. This training helps your staff build pupils’ emotional and academic resilience, so children learn to face challenges, manage setbacks, and keep going.
Below, we explain what our building pupil resilience training involves, and how it helps your pupils grow in confidence and resilience.
What Is Building Pupil Resilience Training?
It’s practical training that helps staff develop pupils’ resilience, both emotional and academic. We cover what resilience really is, how to build it through everyday teaching and relationships, developing a growth mindset, and helping pupils manage stress, setbacks, and challenge.
We ground it in the evidence on wellbeing and self-regulation, and tailor it to your pupils and your setting.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, pastoral teams, and all teaching staff. Trusts often run it across schools for a shared approach.
Many schools ask for it to support pupil wellbeing, build a growth culture, or help pupils cope with pressure and setbacks.
