Our primary 7 pupils are currently participating in the Roots of Empathy programme with baby Niamh, her Mum Joanna and our instructor, Mrs Anderson.

 The programme aims:

  • To foster the development of empathy
  • To develop emotional literacy
  • To reduce levels of bullying, aggression and violence, and promote children’s pro-social behaviours
  • To increase knowledge of human development, learning, and infant safety
  • To prepare pupils for responsible citizenship and responsive parenting
