We are proud to be a myHappymind school!

We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited school!

This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children’s resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self regulate in those stressful times. 

This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school!

What is myHappymind?

As a whole school program grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brain works and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem.

Also, myHappymind teaches the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!

Modules:

myHappymind uses 5 linked modules of work, across all year groups from F2 to Y6. The modules aim to foster a consistent, inclusive approach to help children understand and manage their own mental health and well-being, as well as building resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. The module content is outlined below:

Here are some pupils talking about what they know about the brain.

• Meet Your Brain: Understanding how your brain works and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at our best. Growth mindset is a key part of this too.

• Celebrate: Understanding your unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self-esteem.

• Appreciate: Understanding why gratitude matters and how you can develop gratitude as a habit. Gratitude is key to well-being and resilience and we're all about making it a habit!

• Relate: Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We're focussed on the building blocks of good relationships and friendships.

• Engage: Understanding how to set meaningful goals that matter and how to keep resilient in times of challenge. This module is all about building self-esteem and resilience too.
