Archie Bishop Fronts New Award Scheme for Primary School-aged Children

 The face of the scheme will be children’s character Archie Bishop, a young boy from a difficult background who found the motivation to turn his life around through the support of the young leaders’ award. Resources that feature Archie include a DVD assembly with his story and rap, six lesson packs, a theme song and Youth Trust stationary and certificates.

The award, currently running in 49 schools, seeks to motivate young people to pursue their goals and care for their environment. Jonathan Green, head teacher at the Archbishop of York’s junior school, envisions his students taking part in charity work, litter-picks and hospitality events, all with the aim to help the pupils learn more about the world around them.
