Brilliant Me and My Confidence Course – Easter

Each day, two stories are shared based around the theme of confidence. Then, creative activities help 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, as well as a daily ‘mission’ which is a simple task to help them embed their learning. Brilliant ‘Billy the Bunny’ accompanies the children throughout the week and is used to help the children talk about how they feel. Discussing certain situations Billy might lack confidence in can sometimes be an easier step than talking directly about our own experiences.

The stories shared in The Brilliant Me & My Confidence course are based around the following themes:

1. 1. Different ways to show confidence
   2. Being awesome
   3. What do I like about myself?
   4. Finding my big voice
   5. Doing things I might not be good at

One example of the stories shared during the week is the charming ‘Perfectly Norman’ by Tom Percival. This is described as 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 to explore what we often try and hide about our own personalities. The children make their own pair of ‘wonderful wings’ decorating them with all the things that make them special.

Fun and fast paced learning! There will be a mixture of games, stories, and activities all delivered by Role Models who are experienced with working with this age range of children. There will be breaks built into the structure of the day including a 30 minute play during the lunch break.

Our courses are built on three elements:

• Active learning 
• Ambitious content
• Serious fun

Sometimes we all feel different things….worried, angry, frustrated or not very confident. These feelings are all totally normal and there are great things you can learn to help you when you feel like these feelings are too big.

You are going to listen to some stories, play some games and learn new things to help you feel your happiest, most confident and BRILLIANT self.

• 5 x 5 hour days
• A group of around 10 children will be led by an inspirational Role Model
• You can wear comfortable clothes and have a drink nearby in case you need it
• It will be a fun week of talking, thinking, listening to stories and drawing/creating
• We would love you tell us your ideas and feelings during the activities, so talking is encouraged! But if there’s anything you don’t want to do, that is fine too!
• We can’t wait to meet you and learn some awesome new skills together!

This course is not designed just for children who struggle with confidence; we believe everyone should be developing this important life skill. Even if your child seems confident, the stories and concepts shared throughout the week allow them to really understand the importance of believing in yourself. Working within a group using the skills of collaborating and communicating is a great way to boost general self-confidence and self-awareness. The course is also an opportunity for children to explore being outside of their comfort zone within a fun and supportive environment.

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.

Meet Brigid:

• Parent presentation – we invite parents and carers to attend a 45-minute ‘Parent Presentation’ usually on the first day of the course at 10am. This includes an overview of what your child will learn, together with ideas and strategies for supporting their learning at home. Please note that due to the current circumstances, we may send out a pre-recorded webinar version of this instead
• End of day email – these emails summarise what your child covered so you can discuss this with them. They may also include photos of your child taking part if consent has been given
• Top tips – daily tips from Louise, our Head of Character Education, on how parents and carers can support the development of life skills at home
• Certificate – a branded, official certificate to congratulate your child for completing the course
• Written report – parents receive a written report from the Role Model working with their child, highlighting their child’s strengths and areas for further development, which includes ideas and strategies for supporting their child at home
• Follow-up videos – three videos from Louise and ‘Billy the Bunny’, sent after the course has been completed to remind your child of the key course themes

Parents will also be sent a list of all the story books shared throughout the course; you may wish to purchase any of the titles which have particularly resonated with your child to help revisit the themes.

The Role Models Life Skills programme includes 8 different courses for children in Years 1-6 (ages 5-7 & 8-11). These separate courses can be completed in any order, or on their own.

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. Our course content emphasises the importance of developing life and career skills alongside academic attainment. You can read more about the other courses which we offer here and you can read more about the partnership for 21st Century learning here.

Yes we do! You can either book a standard day (10am – 3pm) or an extended day (8.30am until 6pm). Our course content will only run between the hours of a standard day. Outside of these hours, one of our Creative Childcare Role Models will join the children to run extra-curricular games and activities.

You can select which days you extend based on your needs, as extended hours are charged per day, at £25. Please note: if you select an extended day, you can collect your children before 6pm, but will still be charged for the full day. Please book a standard day at the checkout and then call us to add the extended day package on +44 20 3637 7107 or email
