My Happy Mind

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!

At home, parents and carers can help us in delivering this curriculum too! If you or your child would like to practise some of the techniques learned and further your in school learning of this curriculum, you are able to download the FREE My Happy Mind app. Whether at home or in school, My Happy Mind has proven to positively balance and impact those who undertake its techniques and proves to be beneficial for all right through and during adulthood!

The children will learn about different aspects of their wellbeing through 5 teaching modules:

1) 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.

2) Celebrate: Understanding your unique Character Strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building self-esteem.

3) 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 lifelong strategy!

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

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

We look forward to seeing how we get on! Let us know if you're carrying out My Happy Mind techniques at home and how you're finding this learning journey!

Happiness Heroes

Each class has chosen one or two children to be a 'Happiness Hero' they attend regular meetings (including juice and biscuits) with Miss Johnson our SENCo and have such an important role with My Happy Mind. They encourage peers to happy breathe at difficult times, recognise character strengths in others and give out certificates in assemblies! This term they have even conducted some pupil voice to see what other children are enjoying about My Happy Mind.
