Happy Schools
Our most popular programme, now running in over 20 local schools!
Our Happy Schools Programme is a 12-week curriculum that runs in line with England’s national curriculum, helping schools to support the emotional wellbeing of every student. Our weekly sessions are designed to teach children practical strategies to self-regulate and feel calm, and follow our 5-step method which includes Connect, Play, Be Kind, Soothe and Relax.
The Happy Human Project supports children from the ages of 3-12 and we work with Nurseries, Schools, Youth Groups and Charities. Our sessions are flexible and often tailored to the children. We run sessions in classrooms, halls and smaller community rooms - you name it, we’ve done it!
Some examples of how we work with children are:
Full classes of 30 children for one hour a week, for 12 weeks
12-week block of sessions for focus groups of 8 children, focusing on more specific needs and challenges
After-school clubs for children in Years 1-6
30-minute breakfast clubs, getting the children ready for the day
30-minute lunchtime clubs
Staff INSET training sessions
Full-school wellbeing days, with each class experiencing an emotional wellbeing workshop
One-off emotional wellbeing sessions for Brownies, Scouts etc.
12-week blocks of sessions with private Nurseries
Weekly community sessions for children aged 5-11
“The sessions have helped the children to explore their emotions more, to understand what they are feeling and have the strategies to help them self-regulate. They have helped some children to be more open and confident to talk about their feelings and gain a better understanding of their classmates too. The whole class always looked forward to their sessions with Charlotte, enjoying the games they played very much. As time went by, the ability to stay focussed during the meditations improved in all children.”
— Mrs Turner, Teaching Assistant at Westfield Primary School, Berkhamsted
“The Happy Human Project have worked with our school for several years, working with individuals, small groups, whole classes as well as staff.
All of their sessions have been planned to meet the needs of the group; and it has been great to have them providing weekly links to the wellbeing sessions for pupils.
Our pupils both at home and in school have enjoyed joining in and they are learning different ways of coping, relaxing and exercising.”
— D. Bloomfield, SENCO at Hammond Academy
