SUMO4Education
Over the last 20 years, Paul and his team have been working with staff to Make A Difference to both their teaching and children using the SUMO approach. We work with Multi Academy Trusts and individual schools as well as speaking at conferences for leaders in education.
Our main focus is supporting staff
and providing them with the tools and insights needed to help them manage their wellbeing, develop resilience and positively embrace change.
Our belief is that resilience in the classroom starts in the staffroom. We also provide training to help staff support young people as they navigate their journey through education and help them to develop their confidence and resilience and form positive relationships with both themselves and each other.
Please see below details of Paul's bestselling book YESSS! aimed at children aged 9 upwards. This invaluable resource delivers the SUMO message in a relevant, engaging and fun way to help equip young people with life skills to last a lifetime.

“This book will be invaluable in helping young people achieve their potential”

Client testimonial
“Some children felt empowered with increased self-confidence
and self-efficacy in their new peer mentor roles in school to apply the new found tools of resilience, such as 'Hippo Time' and the 'Beachball' to support children to see both sides during a dispute, primarily in the playground.”
