Case study

Building confidence and self-regulation

"It's not just in that myHappymind lesson. It's absolutely woven throughout school."

Joanne Lewis, myHappymind champion

The challenge and the change

“myHappymind has taught us how to be brave and fight our fears, and that if we feel worried, we can find many different ways to calm ourselves down.” – Pupil, St Thomas CofE Primary

Staff at St Thomas CofE Primary School wanted a consistent approach to wellbeing from EYFS to Year 6, building resilience, confidence and emotional skills into everyday school life.

Through weekly myHappymind lessons, a shared language, Happy Breathing, Happiness Heroes and the Parent App, wellbeing is now embedded across the school and supported at home. Children manage emotions more independently and help their friends, while staff report better engagement with learning.

Character strengths, before and after

22% of teachers said more than half of their children could talk about their character strengths before myHappymind.
100% of teachers said their class are now able to talk about their character strengths with myHappymind.
