5 Ways to Wellbeing

The 5 ways to wellbeing is at the heart of everything that we do at English Martyrs. Each half term we will focus on one of the 5 ways to wellbeing.

My Happy Mind

Recently we have introduced a new PSHE scheme to our school; My Happy Mind. My Happy Mind was created for schools with a very simple mission to give todays children the skills to thrive in tomorrows world. It is taught from Nursery – Year 6 and it consists of five modules: meet your brain, celebrate, appreciate, engage and relate.

Monitoring Wellbeing

We monitor children’s wellbeing daily by having wellbeing trees in each classroom and worry boxes in the KS1 and KS2 corridor.

Celebrations

We celebrate special weeks during the year for example, Children’s Mental Health Week and most recently ‘Wear it Green Day’. Our ‘Happiness Heroes’ will often participate in whole school assemblies.

Healthy Heads Team

We currently have the Health Heads Team at English Martyrs’. They are the Sunderland Mental Health Support Services.
