Nurture & Wellbeing

Nurture & Wellbeing

Our children's happiness and security is pivotal to their learning and development. They need to be given the knowledge to understand their thoughts and feelings in order to use strategies to self-regulate.
To support our pupils we utilise the strategies of myHappyMinds and Compass for Life.

We asked our children what they thought of our school, and this is what they said:

"Move-up day got me ready for my new class"


"Our class timetable lets me know what is happening each day so I can be prepared"


"My class is my safe place, we have nice stuff and an amazing teacher"

Values-based education approach that creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic attainment and develops student's social and relationship skills.


The program is designed to inspire and empower children to follow their dreams. The most wonderful thing about the program is that it also supports the teachers on their own journeys and provides a common language to ensure that all children can be heard. It also supports every aspect of learning in the current curriculum and gives meaning to the subjects the children are being taught.

"My Happy Mind has proved a valuable toolkit that has been used across the whole school from Reception through to Yr 6. It has aided teachers to support the wellbeing and resilience of pupils and empowered pupils to acquire the skills and knowledge to support themselves."

Richard Hughes, Headteacher



"I think the whole thing is brilliant. I have actually learnt alot aswell.


Anything that makes the children think about how they can positively support themselves and others is a good thing."

Rod Webb, Wellbeing Governor


We have introduced a program to all year groups at school called myHappymind. myHappymind is all based around helping children to understand how their brain works and to support them in developing positive skills and habits to be their very best selves!
myHappymind is delivered by the class teachers through a series of interactive lessons and then the children apply these learnings throughout the day.


To further embed this learning and ensure that you are able to engage in these topics with your child, myHappymind has developed a set of resources for parents. These resources can be accessed online on your computer, or through an app on your phone.


The resources allow children to continue to practice some of the habits they have developed at school, such as happy breathing, for you to learn more about what they are learning in the program.


Also included are activities for you to do together at home, to complement the in-school lessons. To access these materials just go to myhappymind.org/parent-resources and enter your name, email, and authentication code. The code is sent out via Class Dojo.
