Our Schools Programme

Do Happie, Eat Happie, Feel Happie!

The links between activity, nutrition and mental health are extremely strong and beyond the benefits of making children happier and healthier it has also been shown that by focusing on these aspects of health schools can actually improve attainment results, rates of illness and behavioural problems.

Our programme covers three aspects of health and well being in a structured way that will fit into your school day with minimal disruption.

The programme can be split into as many weeks as is suitable to fit into your school schedule but for full effectiveness we recommend that the programme last for three weeks with an emphasis on each aspect of health each week. We also encourage schools to embrace each subject within other school activities to reinforce the learning points we bring and give the children a chance to reflect on what they have learned.

Week 1: Do Happie

The first week of our Learn Happie programme introduces safe, fun and worthwhile sport and activities to schools which will help you achieve your obligations under the health agenda. We also summarise how exercise and being active ties in to you general health and positive mental wellbeing.
