We are proud to have a thriving wellbeing curriculum here at our school as we place a huge importance on the mental and physical health of our children. We are always looking to ensure we create an environment and a curriculum where children can achieve and be happy. 

​Part of our wellbeing curriculum is our 'A Mind to be Kind' initiative.
The aim of this project is to develop a culture where kindness, without an expectation of reward, becomes a way of life for staff as well as children. Rather than focusing on performing acts of kindness for a reward, we are aiming to shift the focus to how it feels when we are kind. By doing so, it is hoped that giving and receiving kindness becomes the norm and the school will be a happier, calmer and more productive place for everyone.
‘A Mind to be Kind’ will be delivered to all pupils as a series of short ‘Stop and Think’ sessions where kindness is explored through three main themes:

1. Acts of Kindness
2. Living without Harming Others
3. Respect

Each session will end with a ‘Try This’ task which is a simple activity for staff and pupils to do before the next session. For example:​

Research shows that kindness can benefit us in many ways. For example:

1. Kindness makes us happier by releasing chemicals in the body.
2. Kindness improves self-esteem and relationships.
3. Kindness improves concentration.

By committing to ‘A Mind to be Kind’, we are hoping that all these benefits will be evident in both staff and pupils, and our school will become an even better place to be. Hopefully, you will notice these positive effects on your child at home and at school.
