Happy Schools
Our most popular programme, now running in over 20 local schools!
Our Happy Schools Programme is a 12-week curriculum that runs in line with England’s national curriculum, helping schools to support the emotional wellbeing of every student.
Our weekly sessions are designed to teach children practical strategies to self-regulate and feel calm, and follow our 5-step method which includes Connect, Play, Be Kind, Soothe and Relax.
The Happy Human Project supports children from the ages of 3-12 and we work with Nurseries, Schools, Youth Groups and Charities. Our sessions are flexible and often tailored to the children. We run sessions in classrooms, halls and smaller community rooms - you name it, we’ve done it!

“The sessions have helped the children to explore their emotions more, to understand what they are feeling and have the strategies to help them self-regulate. They have helped some children to be more open and confident to talk about their feelings and gain a better understanding of their classmates too. The whole class always looked forward to their sessions with Charlotte, enjoying the games they played very much. As time went by, the ability to stay focussed during the meditations improved in all children.”

“Charlotte has worked with our school for several years, working with individuals, small groups, whole classes as well as staff. All of her sessions have been planned to meet the needs of the group; and it has been great to have her providing weekly links to her wellbeing sessions for pupils. Our pupils both at home and in school have enjoyed joining in and they are learning different ways of coping, relaxing and exercising.”

"Today we did a wellbeing class. We did meditation on our brains and how we can calm down after a fast activity. After this I’ve never felt so good. I don't know how it worked!"
