Abstract

Stanchester Community School is a secondary comprehensive school with 900 pupils in the English county of Somerset. Since the autumn of 2005 a small project has been offering acupuncture treatment on a voluntary basis to young people in the school identified with anxiety and stress, ADHD and problems controlling anger. This article describes the project, the treatment offered and the results of the treatment, including feedback from the pupils themselves.

The students at Stanchester were caught on camera by the BBC Newsround Team!
