R-Time Outcomes

Through R-Time, children learn to:

• Have greater self-esteem – feel valued and confident in themselves.
• Resolve conflict effectively and fairly – manage disagreements calmly and constructively.
• Solve problems – independently or collaboratively with peers.
• Handle strong feelings – manage anger, anxiety, or frustration positively.
• Adopt calm and optimistic mindsets – support achievement and goal-setting.
• Be resilient – recover from setbacks and persist through challenges.
• Work and play cooperatively – build teamwork and social skills.
• Compete fairly – win or lose with dignity and respect for others.
• Recognise and stand up for their ideas – while valuing the perspectives of others.
• Understand and value differences – respect diverse beliefs, values, and commonalities.
• Develop a broader friendship base – strengthen social connections.

Because R-Time focuses on non-academic, non-subject-specific skills, it is effective in both mainstream and specialist settings. By embedding R-Time across the Trust, we create a calm, respectful learning environment where children feel included, motivated, and ready to thrive.

R-Time at Marish Academy Trust is more than a programme – it’s a culture of courtesy, respect, and cooperation, laying the foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth.
