Training and Support
At Mindfulness for learning we value the input of your staff, children and parents and this is why we offer a personal approach to assist and guide you on your wellbeing journey.
​
Rather than providing you with a pre-packaged scheme of work we tailor our training to suit your individual setting, allowing for teacher autonomy, child-led initiatives and targeted parent and carer support. ​
​
​From supporting Senior Leaders in building a Wellbeing Action Plan to helping teachers reflect on their own self care, Mindfulness for learning's range of training and support packages will provide you with the specific help you need.
​
All of our training and support packages are delivered in person and with a free consultation prior to the session start date.
​
We also believe that no setting should be unable to access this training and so we have three prices available:
​
-
a reduced price for schools who have very little funding
-
a standard price for those who can afford it
-
a higher price for settings that feel they can contribute that little bit more so that everyone has access to this support
​
To receive a price list you can message us.
STAFF WELLBEING
A 3 hour workshop exploring staff wellbeing.
If you are looking to place wellbeing at the heart of your school then this is a good place to start.
If you are already on your wellbeing journey this is a perfect way to refresh, bringing self-care back into the foreground.
​
The 3 hours can be split up into 2 sessions if required.
MENTAL HEALTH LEAD SUPPORT
One-to-one support for the Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead in your setting.
​
We can help to write wellbeing and behaviour policies, create action plans or help plan wellbeing events.
​
We can also discuss and explore problematic areas such as gender and/or cultural equity, parent engagement, communication, toxic working environments, teamwork and anything else connected to the wellbeing of staff and children in the setting.​

EYFS WELLBEING PACKAGE
A set of 5 workshops created specifically for the EYFS.
​
The workshops cover 5 topics - The Brain, Connections, What is Mindfulness?, Emotions and Behaviour and Food and Exercise.
​
Delivered over an agreed period of time, these workshops are approx. 40 minutes each, approx. 3.5 hours in total.
This package includes a resourced activity that links to what we have learned in the workshops to set up in your classroom for free play time.
​
For EYFS it is advised these workshops are delivered over a period of a half term so children can consolidate their learning.
CHILD WELLBEING
A 3 hour workshop exploring child wellbeing.
An exploration of practical ideas on how to develop a wellbeing culture in the classroom.
​
We recommend this workshop after your school have completed the staff wellbeing workshop.
​​
The 3 hours can be split up into 2 sessions if required.
EXPRESSION ROOM DEVELOPMENT
The Expression Room is an initiative created by our founder, Sophie Smith-Tong.
A room managed by a member of staff where children can go if they feel they need to talk - in groups or individually.
​
The journey begins with holding group sessions with the school council where decisions are made as to what your Expression Room may look like and what it will offer.
​
Alongside the school council we will launch The Expression Room and introduce the way it will work to your setting.
​
This development can take place over an agreed amount of time and will see you through from imagined ideas through to implementing and managing the running of The Expression Room.
POSITIVE LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOUR
1.5 hour training on how to become mindful in your use of language.
Language is a powerful tool and can have a profound effect on a person's perceptions of the world around them and shape their interactions with others.
​
Explore how becoming mindful of the language you use can open up a world of opportunity for the children in your care.
MINDFULNESS FOR SATS
8 x 30 minute mindfulness sessions.
Are you worried about your Year 6's mental health in the lead up to their SATS?
What better way to support them in taking responsibility for their own self-care than to teach them mindfulness and help them to build up their own regular mindfulness practice.
Mindfulness is known to reduce stress and anxiety so will help to calm nerves, manage feelings of overwhelm and prioritise workload.
The mindfulness sessions take place regularly (8 weeks before their SATS is recommended to have a real effect) online or in class.
