Alway Primary School

In the final episode of the Teacher series of the myHappymind Conversations Podcast, I sit down with Gill Barnard, a dedicated teacher from Alway Primary School in Newport, who has been implementing the myHappymind programme for the past two years.

Together, we explore how the programme has reshaped the well-being culture within the school, from fostering resilience and emotional awareness in children to empowering teachers with new approaches to emotional learning. Gill reflects on the positive changes she’s seen, both in her students and the wider school community, and shares practical insights from her journey with myHappymind.
