At our school, positive emotional health and wellbeing are at the heart of our ethos. We believe that children thrive when they feel safe, valued and supported, enabling them to become curious, resilient and confident learners. Our aim is to equip every child with the emotional resilience needed to navigate life's challenges, build positive relationships and achieve their full potential. Emotional coaching is woven throughout our curriculum and daily practice, helping children to understand and manage their feelings effectively. Dedicated learning through PSHE and myHappymind further develops children's self-awareness, confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing.

Our My Happy Mind Curriculum!

We are proud that we are a myHappymind 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.
