Primary schools will receive the primary and transition activity packs, and secondary schools will receive the secondary activity pack. A new pack is being developed for the Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND)  version of Pyramid clubs.

The Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire is provided as an Excel spreadsheet, to allow quick and easy screening of children to identify those suitable to join a Pyramid club.

A primary school and a secondary school DVD is available, both of which come with several versions of a film about Pyramid clubs which are suitable to show to staff and parents. The secondary DVD also includes a version for young people.  

An initial supply of leaflets aimed at professionals and at parents to explain what Pyramid is about.

Children receive certificates for attending the clubs, and club leaders receive certificates for both, attending the training and, for running a club. These certificates can be amended to include other logos (eg. the school’s or the organisation’s) and names can be typed in.

Children who attend Pyramid clubs often have other conditions apart from those that made them suitable for a club: this book provides guidance on how to manage those conditions within a group setting and where to go for more detailed support.

Working with children in groups means dealing not just with the difficulties each child is experiencing, but also the reaction of other children (and adults) to those difficulties.

This book covers a wide range of medical, social and psychological conditions, with advice on how to manage them within the group. Each condition is described and its impact on the child within the group is discussed, with strategies for managing the condition and sources of more detailed support signposted. Suitable for use in schools, youth groups and other settings.
