What's been said about Inner Wings:
Following the Finding Your Superpower programme, several children are now working in line with expectations for their IQ as they have a more positive view of their abilities and are more confident.
I enjoyed the progression of the programme. Allowing the pupils to develop and think about their own superpowers confidently in the group.
More children were putting their hands up as the sessions went on so you could see that the programme was having a positive impact on the pupils.
My colleague and I both taught Finding Your Superpower lessons yesterday and it was a huge success. The pupils were very engaged and the handbook was super easy to follow.
