Welbourn CE Primary School
Wellbeing and Mental Health
At Welbourn CE Primary School we create a positive culture for Mental Wellbeing.
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.
MyHappy Mind
We are very excited to announce that we have been delivering MyHappyMind since January 2023! We can already see a positive impact on our pupils.
MyHappymind is an award-winning programme that is grounded in neuroscience and scientific research. It is a preventative programme designed to support the development of good mental health habits, resilience and self-esteem. It has been commissioned by the NHS.
All our children will have a My Happy Mind lesson each week and are encouraged to apply the strategies they learn to their daily lives.
You can find out what they have been learning and further support the development of these good mental health habits at home through the My Happy Mind parent app. The app includes videos so that you can follow along with the children's learning, audio breathing exercises, stories and fun activities that you can do together at home.
Information about how to access the app has been sent to parents but you can also access it on our Parent Notice board outside school.
What does it cover?
There are 5 Modules which will take place throughout the year:
Meet your brain - Meet Team HAP! Team HAP helps children learn all about 3 key parts of their brain: the hippocampus, the amygdala and the pre-frontal cortex.
Celebrate - children build self-esteem by learning all about their character strengths
Appreciate - children are supported to develop an attitude of gratitude which has a proven, positive impact on mental wellbeing
Relate - children learn to improve their listening skills so that they are better able to communicate and understand each other
Engage - children will build resilience through setting and achieving goals.
In The Early Years, we use these characters to help teach the same content throughout the year.
