Huge congratulations to Shedlia, Y13 who was selected as winner of ‘Most Sustainable Solution’ in the @TEDILondon Thinking Ahead Program. Shedlia's idea was a glass forest installation aimed at users with anxiety disorder, creating a soothing and peaceful place for the community.

I love teaching #characterstrengths using the @VIAstrengths - in a recent lesson we celebrated a student's signature strength of humour and all started laughing - it was such a tonic! #positiveeducation #viacharacter

I thought my Year 11 Psychology introductory A level lesson went well today but as it was in Teams I wasn't sure what they thought. So I asked them! Lots of positive feedback in an anonymous survey which is reassuring. If in doubt, ask! #remotelearning #alevelpsychology #Feedback

"Living the good life" goes beyond overcoming challenges or fixing problems. It's about thriving! Living a life of meaning that you're proud of, and feeling accepted and valued for who you are. Dr. Martin Seligman gives us a playbook for a life well-lived: https://t.co/6wtHZ4qRwD

As it so happens, happiness really is about the journey rather than the destination.
