Boost Programme
As part of our new 5-day Transition Week, Year 6 students joining Cheltenham Bournside School in September took part in a fantastic 2-day BOOST programme, run in partnership with Gloucestershire Constabulary. The engaging programme is designed to help build self awareness and emotional resilience as well as promoting positive coping techniques through fun activities in groups, supported by our senior students. A brilliant addition to Transition!
