Wellbeing Wednesday 💛This week's wellbeing focus: gratitude. It sounds simple. But the science behind it is powerful.🙏
Practising gratitude regularly can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, boost confidence and strengthen relationships. And it takes less than two minutes.

I invite you to try this with your class today:
💛 Name one person who has helped you this week
🌟 Name one thing you are proud of yourself for
😊 Name one moment that made you smile

It does not need to be big. The smallest glimmers sometimes count the most.

Notice what happens to the atmosphere in the room when you do it together.

Proud to share that Future Action has been named the UK's Leading Student Wellbeing Teacher Training Course for the 2nd consecutive year. 🏆 But the bigger story is how RISE Up is evolving.

300+ schools.
45+ case studies.

New partnerships in Kent & Hampshire.

Growing work in AP & wraparound care.

Why are more schools, trusts & councils choosing wellbeing partnerships over one-off training?

Parting Words #5: A Changed World

In this thread, I'm going to reflect a little on the impact that the pandemic has had on children, educators & schools.

I apologise at the outset if this is sensitive, particularly for those who have experienced loss, hardship or suffering.

Mindful Monday 💛 Welcome back.  We hope you had a chance to rest, recharge and do something that filled your cup over half term.

As you step back into school today, take a quiet moment before the week gathers pace.

Which young people are you most looking forward to seeing?

Which ones might need a gentle check in this week?

Who might be coming back carrying a little more than they left with?

A warm welcome at the door, a smile and a simple "really glad you're here" can make all the difference for a child returning after a break.

Start with connection. Everything else follows. 💛

Undecided about your half term book?📚Try ‘Time to RISE Up: Supporting Students' Mental Health in Schools’

Section 4 explores how to embed movement wrapped in care through out the school day to develop children’s emotional regulation and belonging.

Real strategies, real schools, real impact.

Written for educators who want both the why and the how.

Brilliant to be in central London today, right by Buckingham Palace, presenting at the PTI PE Conference. 💛My session brought together the theory and the practice, showcasing what trauma-informed, inclusive PE actually looks like in action.

Delegates were absolutely brilliant. The quality of questions, the openness to new ideas and the genuine passion for making PE meaningful for every young person in the room was really something special.

These are exactly the kind of educators who change lives. 🙌

A huge thank you to Harry Smith and Natasha Simmons for the kind invitation.

Brilliant to deliver a Staff RISE Up online webinar this afternoon for PGCE students at @BathSpaUni, focusing on teacher psychological wellbeing and how to build a sustainable and fulfilling career in education. 💛

Every student left with their own personalised self-care toolkit to help them return to homeostasis as often as possible, because we know that teaching is one of the most rewarding but also one of the most demanding professions there is.

Colleagues were absolutely brilliant. Reflective, engaged and genuinely invested in their own wellbeing as well as that of their future pupils.

Huge credit to Bath Spa University for being so proactive in equipping their students for long, successful and sustainable careers in education.

This is exactly the kind of investment the profession needs. 🙌

Final day in Kent and a wonderful visit to South Avenue Primary School with the brilliant Stavros Saava, touring the school and co-creating their bespoke Kent RISE Up strategic vision and implementation plan.

Three days. Five incredible schools. One shared mission to transform the mental wellbeing and life chances of young people across Kent.

Every school we visited this week brought something unique, but the same thing shone through everywhere: passionate, caring educators ready to build something truly bespoke for their young people.

Great to be joined by Michelle Olden from Kent Virtual School, thank you for making this programme possible.

Excited to see what this community grows into. 👊

Wellbeing Wednesday 💛Final week and the sun is out. Perfect timing for one simple habit. Hydration.🍼

It boosts mood, sharpens focus and supports regulation, exactly what young people need to finish the half term feeling their best.

Share these nudges with your class this week:
💧 Water first thing every morning
🍋 Bottle on the desk as a reminder
🥒 High water content snacks, cucumber, fruit, yoghurt

☀️ Even more important as the weather warms up.

Small habit. Big difference. Nearly there. 💛

Brilliant to welcome two more schools to our Kent RISE Up programme with Kent Virtual School today 💛 Wonderful to visit Rose Street Primary School on the Isle of Sheppey with the brilliant Yvonne Bower, and Maplesdon Noakes in Maidstone with the fantastic Aaron Davey.

Great to tour both schools and co-create their bespoke strategic visions and implementation plans.

Brilliant to be joined at Maplesdon Noakes by Daniel Bromley from Active Kent, showcasing the programme and exploring what this partnership could do for young people across the region.

Every school we have visited this week has the same thing in common. Passionate educators who genuinely care and are ready to build something brilliant for their young people.

Grateful to be walking alongside them. 🙌

📈55% improvement in student mental wellbeing.
📈44 point improvement on the School Wellbeing Scorecard.
But the number that tells the story most powerfully? 🏃‍♀️One Year 5 girl, for whom every morning transition was distressing, walking calmly across her classroom mid-lesson, collecting her token, and returning to her seat.

This is the Ravenscote Junior School story. A school that already cared deeply about their young people and wanted to go further.💛

What they built with Amy Wells and the team is remarkable, and a huge thank you to Sarah Williams at Active Surrey for the vision to create, champion and fund the Surrey RISE Up pilot.
