PROJECT DESCRIPTION

XLR8 is a fun, educational and impactful programme designed to help children make a successful transition to their secondary school. This journey is not always a successful one for vulnerable pupils and much of the good work in previous years can be undone. Furthermore, the increase in incidents of adolescent mental health can be closely linked to this critical period in a young person's life. Focussed interventions here can help to ensure positive trajectories and happier, more fulfilled lives.
