We are happy to share with you that we are now a My Happy Mind school!

My Happy Mind is an award-winning programme that is grounded in neuroscience and scientific research.  It is a preventative programme designed to support the development of good mental health habits, resilience and self-esteem.  It has been commissioned by the NHS.

My Happy Mind is all based around helping children to understand how their brain works, to support them in developing positive skills and habits to be their very best selves!  Lessons are delivered every week, alongside assemblies and whole school activities. My Happy Mind teaches children all about their brains and how they work. This helps children to keep a happy and healthy mind.

Mrs Mee is our My Happy Mind Ambassador.

There are 5 Modules within My Happy Mind which will take place throughout the year:

1. Meet your brain Meet Team HAP!  Team HAP helps children learn all about 3 key parts of their brain: the hippocampus, the amygdala and the pre-frontal cortex.  Why not ask your child what they can remember about these parts of their brain?
2. Celebrate – children build self-esteem by learning all about their character strengths
3. Appreciate – children are supported to develop an attitude of gratitude which has a proven, positive impact on mental wellbeing
4. Relate – children learn to improve their listening skills so that they are better able to communicate and understand each other
5. Engage – children will build resilience through setting and achieving goals.
