Resilience is a journey, a process. It is not a case of a pupil being “resilient” or “not resilient”. An individual may be resilient in some aspects of their world but struggle in others. Therefore, we can’t merely rate them on a scale based on “Is the child resilient?”. One needs to look at the wider picture of a child’s life – in and out of school; emotional support, family structure, parental influence, interests, friendships, education, and self-esteem.
