myHappymind
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Silver Accredited school!
The Accreditation recognises schools that are embedding the myHappymind curriculum into school life and taking real action to improve the mental health and well-being of the school community.
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!
