My Happy Mind
We are very proud to be a My Happy Mind school, having achieved our Bronze award accreditation.
Each class has My Happy Mind ambassadors to promote the emotional well being of our children.
The My Happy Mind programme follows 5 key principles:
Proactive not reactive
Mental health activity is often focused on supporting individuals when they face challenges. Whilst this is critical, we believe that it’s also important to support individuals in building their resilience and self-esteem proactively. Prevention is at the heart of what we do.
Stigma reversing
Ensuring that individuals understand the science behind how their brains work and how to impact their self-esteem and resilience is at the heart of what we do. When people get the why, they take action.
A systemic approach
We passionately believe in supporting both Staff and Parent wellbeing alongside the children. That’s why we provide a CPD certified wellbeing program for all staff in the schools and nurseries we support along with a state of the art Parent App so the learning journey can continue at home.
Fun to Learn & Easy to Teach
myHappymind is easy to teach via our digital lessons and resources which are all pre-made for teachers, which means planning time is minimal. We also believe mental health education can and should be fun, we integrate quizzes, music, games and our lovely characters to make myHappymind fun to learn!
Equitable access for all
We’re also proud that myHappymind is tailored to meet the needs of neuro-diverse children and we have a dedicated Special Schools Programme. myHappymind has also been modified to support those children who are hard of hearing or partially sighted.
