Inspiring Barrow’s Kickstart programme has been back in action now school lockdown restrictions have ended. The programme has returned after being paused due to Covid restrictions, and focuses on helping children improve their resilience, leadership, teamwork, communication skills, and to improve self- esteem. Year 6 pupils from Newton Primary School, Dalton, and St. James’s Primary School in Barrow were among some of the first to take part in public speaking and teamwork activity days. David Cassidy, programme co-ordinator said: “The teamwork activities proved extremely successful and the staff at the schools reported a marked improvement in the children’s ability to work collaboratively.”
