Schools and commissioners often ask how they can be confident a wellbeing programme actually works. Independent awards are one clear way to check.
This page is for schools, trusts, and the commissioners, including NHS and local authority commissioners, who select and fund wellbeing programmes on their behalf. It lists the awards myHappymind has won, our current shortlisted entries, and why it matters for the schools we work with. You’ll also find a clear answer on which of our recognitions are wins, which are shortlisted entries, and which are separate accreditations or memberships.
Why This Matters
Choosing a wellbeing, inclusion or PSHE programme is a significant decision for any school. Independent recognition gives schools and commissioners external validation, alongside their own judgement, that a programme delivers real impact.
Awards like these are assessed by people external to myHappymind. That makes them a useful, independent signal of quality and evidence.

- King’s Award for Enterprise, Innovation, 2025 (Winner)

Bett Awards Transformational Impact Award 2026 We’re proud to be winners of the Bett Awards Transformational Impact Award 2026. This recognises the measurable difference to mental health and wellbeing myHappymind is making in schools across the UK.
The Bett Awards celebrate innovation and excellence in education. This award specifically acknowledges the strength of our evidence and the real, lasting impact of our programmes.
For the schools and commissioners we work with, this is independent validation that the programme delivers meaningful change where it matters most.

We’re proud to have been recognised twice at the BESA Awards 2026.
Primary – Outstanding Curriculum Resource, BESA Awards 2026
The judges said:
“The judges acknowledged the high calibre of entries in this category. This reflected a range of entries from those supporting schools for many years and newer products that help to address specific requirements and push the boundaries. The judges selected myHappymind, on the basis that they were impressed by the evidence led approach, positive impact it is having in schools and the use of technology to foster home/school links to ensure that this does not just remain in the classroom. The three areas of note were reduced CAMHS referrals, fewer exclusions and improved attendance.”
Outstanding Early Years Resource or Service, BESA Awards 2026
The judges said:
“This platform directly addresses a critical need with clear evidence of impact, strong evidence and outcomes. A great range of resources on the platform and very well structured for the classroom and the curriculum. It’s brilliant to see the parent app which goes alongside, so the work in early years can be supported at home. Another great product from myHappymind! Well done.”
BESA Evidence and Impact Award 2025
We also won the BESA Evidence and Impact Award in 2025, a highly competitive category celebrating organisations with demonstrated, evidenced impact.
Why Awards Matter
For schools and commissioners, these awards mean:
- Independent confirmation that myHappymind’s evidence base is strong
- External validation of measurable impact in schools
- Reassurance when selecting or renewing a wellbeing and PSHE programme
- A programme recognised across government (King’s Award), education technology (Bett), and the education supplier sector (BESA)
How This Supports Wellbeing and Mental Health Education
Both the Bett and BESA awards specifically recognise evidence and impact, not just innovation or design. The King’s Award for Enterprise recognises the originality of the programme itself. Together, this matters because it links directly to what schools need from a wellbeing programme: proof that our science-based approach makes a real difference to pupils’ wellbeing, not just a well-designed resource.
This independent recognition supports the wider case for embedding structured, science-based wellbeing programmes within PSHE and pastoral provision.
How This Evidence Can Be Used
This evidence base and independent recognition are relevant across:
- Whole-school PSHE curriculum planning
- Pastoral care and wellbeing strategy
- SEND support planning
- Procurement and commissioning decisions
- Ofsted and inspection readiness conversations around wellbeing provision
In Summary
myHappymind’s King’s Award for Enterprise (2025), Bett Awards (2026), BESA 2025 win, and two BESA 2026 wins (Primary – Outstanding Curriculum Resource, and Outstanding Early Years Resource or Service), reflect independent, external confirmation of the evidence and impact behind our science-based wellbeing programmes for children, schools and families. For schools and commissioners weighing up a wellbeing and PSHE programme, that’s a clear, verifiable signal alongside your own judgement.
