.The school uses SUMO4Schools as part of its innovative PSHE programme to equip children with the aspirational life skills necessary for achieving a successful future. Based on the bestselling book SUMO, Stop, Understand, Move on – the straight talking guide to enjoying a brilliant life by Paul McGee.
