At Greenvale Primary School, our Positive Masculinity & Emotional Literacy project is designed to show pupils—particularly boys—that it is entirely normal and healthy to understand, express, and discuss their emotions.

To bring this vision to life, male role models from our school community, including fathers, grandfathers, and uncles, are participating in recorded conversations where they share honest, unscripted reflections on life, feelings, and growing up. In these sessions, pupils read thoughtful questions aloud, inviting our community members to share genuine insights on topics ranging from handling anger and stress to expressing care, overcoming challenges, and seeking help.

A video featuring these meaningful conversations will be posted alongside this summary to highlight the strength in vulnerability and foster an open, supportive school culture.
