SILVER ACCREDITATION
We are proud to announce that we are now a myHappymind Gold Accredited school!
This award recognises our long‑term commitment to promoting children’s wellbeing, resilience and positive mental health across the whole school and our wider school community.
Achieving GOLD shows that:
- Wellbeing is fully embedded in our daily routines, lessons and interactions.
- Pupils are regularly using strategies such as Happy Breathing, positive mindset techniques, and brain science learning to understand and manage their emotions.
- Staff model and champion wellbeing practices, ensuring a calm, nurturing and consistent environment.
- Families are engaged and supported through the myHappymind approach, helping children develop strong emotional foundations both in school and at home.
- Our whole school culture reflects the core myHappymind principles of Celebrate, Relate, Appreciate, Engage and Respond.
This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents/carers have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school.
Meet Your Brain: Understanding how your brain works and how to ensure we look after it so that we can manage our emotions and be at our best. Growth mindset is a key part of this too.
• Celebrate: Understanding your unique character strengths and learning to celebrate them. This is a fantastic module for building selfesteem.
• Appreciate: Understanding why gratitude matters and how you can develop gratitude as a habit. Gratitude is key to well-being and resilience and we're all about making it a habit!
• Relate: Understanding why positive relationships matter and how to build them. We're focussed on the building blocks of good relationships and friendships.
• Engage: Understanding how to set meaningful goals that matter and how to keep resilient in times of challenge. This module is all about building self-esteem and resilience too.

Parent App
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 practise 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 https://myhappymind.org/parent-resources and enter your name, email, and authentication code. You will have been sent this code via the school app and in our newsletter, however you can also request this from the school office.
