We have a Bronze Award!
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited School!
This means that, as a school, we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole-school culture that helps build our children’s resilience, confidence, and self-esteem, as well as teaching them how to self-regulate during stressful times.
This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors, and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life across our school.

Progression Map
Take a look at the progression map below for an overview of the modules and learning taught in each group.
Happyminds is taught by Class Teachers every week. 
At Limes Farm Infant School and Nursery we combine myHappymind (a neuroscience-backed mental health programme) and Jigsaw PSHE (a mindful, progressive Personal, Social, Health, and Economic education curriculum) to create a comprehensive wellbeing strategy.
By running both frameworks, we pair Jigsaw’s compulsory Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) modules with myHappymind's emotional self-regulation and brain-science tools.
Relationships and Sex Education
An important part of the Jigsaw PSHE programme is delivered through the 'Relationships' and 'Changing Me' puzzle pieces which are covered in the Summer Term.
There are four main aims of teaching RSE:
- To enable children to understand and respect their bodies
- To help children develop positive and healthy relationships appropriate to their age and development
- To support children to have positive self-esteem and body image
- To empower them to be safe and safeguarded.
Each year group will be taught appropriate to their age and developmental stage. At no point will a child be taught something that is inappropriate and if a question from a child arises and the teacher feels it would be inappropriate to answer (for example, because of its mature or explicit nature), this information will be shared with you by your child's class teacher.
Below is a summary of RSE coverage within the Jigsaw scheme for each year group:
EYFS - Growing up, how we have changed since we were babies
Year 1 - Boys' and girls' bodies, naming body parts
Year 2 - Boys' and girls' bodies, body parts and respecting privacy (which parts of the body are private and why this is).
The issue of privacy is reinforced using the NSPCC resources - The Pants Rules and the character Pantosaurus.
The correct terminology for body parts is introduced early to normalise this biological vocabulary and to support safeguarding. These words are not used in isolation but always in conjunction the teaching the children that these are the private parts of their bodies.
