Here’s How It Works

Primary and secondary schools register interest in applying for the Challenge.

Participating schools receive a Challenge Pack to deliver to teachers, year 6 pupils and parents

Each year 6 class puts forward a team of 7 pupils to take part in the Challenge quiz.

Preparation for the Challenge takes place in the Spring and early Summer. The Challenge event is a combination of a team-based quiz and other physical activities. The winning team is presented with a trophy and crowned ‘Champions of Resilience’.

Each pupil receives a ‘Resilience and Me’ Journal and is encouraged to complete the Bronze, Silver and Gold Certificates associated with the e-learning course ‘Resilience and Me’.

All participating Schools are presented with an attractive wall plaque with the school logo and that of any partner organisations support the Resilience for Life Challenge.
