R Time training  provided by John Pascoe

A brilliant motivator to get R Time up and running in your school!

A school where respect and courtesy are high on the agenda will be a community that fosters good relationships, as well as accelerating learning.

Having trialled R Time in my class last year and seen the positive effects it has, I wanted to roll the programme out throughout my school. However, my brief introduction in a staff meeting left some of my colleagues feeling that R Time was ‘just another thing to do’. I needed a hook.

So the school sent the PSHE co-ordinator on the R Time training course and she came back raving about what a brilliant course it was, how she felt energised and sure of the benefits of R Time. Then we got John Pascoe to come into school to demonstrate R Time to each class and everyone was energised. John oozed energy and enthusiasm, the children loved him and the teachers felt inspired and motivated by him. Although he only had a short time with each class, his pace, delivery and sense of fun left the children wanting more.

The benefits of R Time speak for themselves and the benefit of going on one of John's courses or having him in to deliver training boosts R Time's profile tenfold.

An external evaluation of R Time

The Educational Psychology Service in Leicestershire carried out an external evaluation of R Time and found that when it is used with children they develop a greater awareness of others and increased respect and tolerance of individual differences. Download a short report of this study.
