We are delighted to be a myHappymind school! myHappymind is an award-winning program for schools, nurseries, families and organisations commissioned by the NHS. It teaches preventative habits that support mental health, resilience and self-esteem. Concepts taught are based on science and research and grounded in neuroscience and positive psychology.

We embarked upon our myHappymind journey at Ravenshall in February 2024 to create a positive wellbeing culture where our pupils build resilience, self-esteem and character and help pupils develop lifelong habits to learn and thrive. myHappymind also teaches our pupils how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times.
My Happy Mind is delivered across the whole school as one element of Thrive Time and consists of 5 units:
As we embed the myHappymind as part of daily practice at Ravenshall our aim is to have a pupil Happiness Heroes team spreading happiness around school and supporting others with their wellbeing.
