Case study

Elton Primary School

"The biggest impact has been preventative."

Leah Davies, Deputy Head at Elton Primary School

The challenge and the change

“It’s really helped her be able to communicate with her one-to-one members of staff, to say, ‘This is how I’m feeling, this is what I need, and can we go and do this?’” – Deputy headteacher, Elton Primary School

Staff at Elton Primary School noticed growing challenges with pupils’ emotional regulation, anxiety and worry, alongside concerns about staff wellbeing.

After introducing myHappymind, with its shared language, brain-based learning, practical tools and Parent App, pupils began recognising emotions earlier and managing them before situations escalated. Staff felt calmer and more confident, children with SEND could better express their feelings, and families became more engaged in wellbeing at home.
