Little Troopers at School launched in 2018 with the aim of supporting education settings that have military children. The programme provides relevant, military-specific, age-appropriate resources designed to save teachers time while ensuring children get the support they need.
There are estimated over 70,000 military children in the UK education system. These children often face unique challenges and may require additional pastoral care.
Little Troopers Clubs initiative is aiming to work with settings to give military children reassurance and comfort. Wherever they move in the country, they can leave one Little Troopers Club and join another, finding the same supportive environment.
Military children move home and school frequently, with every aspect of their daily lives changing, from their home and friends to teachers and environment. Little Troopers wants to provide them with a familiar space at school that helps them feel grounded.
By formalising Little Troopers Clubs, we aim to give military children reassurance and comfort. Wherever they move in the country, they can leave one Little Troopers Club and join another, finding the same supportive environment.
This is a funded programme, made possible thanks to the generous support of The Grocers Charity, BFBS Big Salute, Tesco Stronger Starts & The Army Benevolent Fund.
We have worked alongside teaching professionals to create resources that make starting and running your club simple:
We have a limited number of physical starter packs available for schools that would like to set up their own Little Troopers Club. To receive your pack, simply complete the form below. We’ll post it directly to your school.
