North East Skills Training
BELIEF PROGRAMMES
Belief programmes are intervention sessions lasting a minimum of one term, for groups of students or targeted individuals who may be lacking in self esteem, resilience and/or confidence or have moderate behavioural issues.
During these sessions NEST try to instil REAL (Resilience and emotional well being, Educational attainment, Aspiration/broadening horizons and Life skills) as well as focussing on military ethos and values such as integrity, pride and discipline.
NEST has delivered Belief programmes in schools (e.g. Brunton First School, Gosforth) and in Pupil Referral Units (e.g. Beacon Centre, South Shields) and other small groups. NEST does this through the use of team building activities, problem solving and group discussion around the issues that arise, using transform coaching throughout.
NEST tries to instil its SOP's or code of conduct which other partners have adopted during their sessions, creating a very joined up approach to tackling issues with these students. The Belief programme involves weekly updates to key teaching staff and can also involve communication with parents.



North East Skills Training
Belief programmes can be delivered within the school daily timetable (sometimes covering PPA) or as other school sessions. Programme content and delivery options are flexible and can be bespoke to student and setting needs.
