- There are 30 carefully planned sessions for each year group

Child quote: "I love R time because I get to work with children I have never spoken to before. I love that. You learn to trust each other and sometimes become new friends."

"Pete, I want to say a big "thank you" for your R time input last September. We have all been implementing it since then and have seen amazing progress as was confirmed in our recent Ofsted report which acknowledged that that this improvement area played a positive part in our overall outcome.....which was Outstanding.! Thank you again for your part in that."

"The imaginative planning of R time personal and social education lessons is very effective in developing pupils' spiritual, social and cultural skills and understanding. They show a high level of empathy and sensitivity to one another during these sessions. Consequently pupil self-esteem is high as they have effective and respectful relationships with their classmates and adults."
Quote from Ofsted report on Townlands Primary School.
