The Hamish & Milo experience with Netherton CofE Primary School, Dudley

Welcome to this showcase webinar from Netherton CofE Primary School in Dudley, where Lisa Ryall-White, Inclusion Lead and SENCO shares their school’s journey with the Hamish & Milo Programmes.

Netherton CofE Primary School began their journey as part of a pilot group of schools in Dudley, West Midlands in January 2024. From the outset, the focus was on designing thoughtful, needs-led interventions, with two trained teaching assistants delivering the programmes to support children’s emotional literacy, resilience and self-esteem.

Over the past year, Netherton CofE Primary has successfully embedded a range of Hamish & Milo programmes including Amazing me, Exploding me, New beginnings and me and Resilient me to nurture pupils’ wellbeing and strengthen whole-school inclusion. Lisa shares an honest and practical insight into how the school approached implementation, what they have learned along the way, and the positive impact they are seeing for children across their community.
