At Archbishop Courtenay Primary School, we believe that nurturing the mental and emotional well-being of our pupils is just as

important as their academic success. Our Happy Minds programme is designed to support every child’s journey towards becoming a strong, resilient, and confident individual. Rooted in our core values of Compassion, Friendship, Resilience, Respect, and Aspiration, Happy Minds helps children understand and manage their emotions, develop positive relationships, and build the skills they need to thrive both in and out of school.

Through targeted activities, supportive teaching, and a caring community, Happy Minds encourages pupils to explore how their brains work, understand their feelings, and develop strategies for well-being. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where every child feels valued and empowered to flourish.

We invite parents to join us in this vital work by staying informed, involved, and supported as we work together to foster happy, healthy minds for all our pupils.
