We are a 'My Happy Mind' school!
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited 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.
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!

Happy Breathing
Children throughout school use happy breathing as a technique to regulate their brains following periods of high energy or high emotions. We find the children enjoy happy breathing following break times to get them ready for their next lesson.
