Mental health plays a key role in every child’s life, supporting how they cope, learn, and grow over time.
Walton-le-Dale Primary School is committed to promoting positive mental wellbeing and helping pupils develop the skills they need to recognise emotions, build resilience and talk openly about how they feel.
We are proud to be a part of the myHappymind Family! As a whole school program grounded in science and dedicated to building positive mental wellbeing, myHappymind helps children understand how their brains work and creates a culture that helps to build children's resilience, confidence, and self-esteem. myHappymind also teaches the children how to self-regulate and manage their emotions in stressful times, allowing them to be their very best selves!
