Hope’s Place Courses

Boys’ and Girls’ Courses run for ten consecutive weeks by arrangement with our facilitators. Each session lasts 60-90 minutes. Schools select their pupils using guidelines given by Hope’s Place, and each single-sex group has space for up to ten pupils. Courses are highly subsidised by our sponsors, so as to keep as low as possible the cost to schools, which is a standard rate of £250 per ten-week course. The first boys’ or girls’ course for each school is charged at an introductory rate of just £75.

Boys’ Courses

“Man Up?” courses are designed to work with groups of boys across the primary and secondary age ranges. The facilitators provide guidance and support to encourage the helpful exchange of ideas, enabling individuals to make informed decisions. The group provides a safe space for boys to share their views and ideas around masculinity, and how it impacts on them, their families, friends and wider community.

Girls’ Courses

Identity courses are designed to work with groups of girls across the primary and secondary age ranges. The groups provide a safe place for girls to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas, and is a nurturing environment for them to build new relationships and reflect on themselves and others. Each session addresses a particular challenge facing girls and young women today, such as beauty and self-image or healthy relationships. Ongoing themes throughout the course are social media and its affect on self-esteem, self-autonomy, coping strategies and emotions.

Aspire Courses

The newly-designed Aspire Course has been developed especially for boys and girls in year 6, preparing for the move to secondary school in September. This move can be full of challenges, and often rumours about the new school setting can be unsettling and cause youngsters to be fearful and apprehensive. The course is designed to build realistic expectations and positive attitudes to the change, and has been run now in a small number of Primary Schools around Bristol, with a very positive response from both teachers and pupils. Unlike other Hope’s Place courses, this is delivered to mixed whole class groups.
