Mental health & Well-being
My Happy Mind;
We are proud to be a 'myHappymind' school!
My Happy Mind is an NHS supported programme that focuses on building resilience, self-esteem and happiness in children. Using on a systemic approach, it contains three key programmes; one for children, that is largely made up of digital lessons but supported with physical resources. A Parent App to support parents from home and a CPD certified staff package which supports the well being of all staff in the school.
Each year group participates in the 'myHappymind' programme, with the scientific research showing it helps children to:
✓ Feel happier
✓ Know what to do when they feel worried or stressed
✓ Improve their focus and learn more
✓ Achieve more of the goals that they set for themselves
✓ Develop better relationships with friends and families
✓ Feel great about who they are and have positive self-esteem
We encourage parents to download the app to use at home to learn how with the science of Happiness, we can support the children together and also access a range of games, songs and breathing resources.
