In January 2013, Shawclough Community Primary was one of the schools visited as part of a documentary on Peer Massage. Check out the video on Youtube to see if you can find the teachers!
What is peer massage? Why have schools in England adopted it to reduce aggression and bullying? American film-makers Thea Blair and Amanda Bontecou flew to England in January to document this practice and found out that peer massage really did make students calm, focused, and friendly.
How does peer massage help you?
