Mindfulness Instructor

The human mind is easily distracted, and none more so in children, so there is an obvious benefit to increasing focus through exercises that enable them to become more mindful in a fun and caring way. Not only does a mindfulness practice help children to understand what they are doing in a deeper way, but it also helps them experience life to the fullest.

Schools have the freedom to provide activities, which they consider best meet their pupils’ health and wellbeing needs. They are best placed to decide what is suitable to offer to their pupils.

'To support such decisions the Department for Education is looking to generate more evidence on what works in school settings. DfE is funding randomised control trials to produce independent, robust evidence into the effectiveness of five different approaches, including mindfulness, relaxation, and strategies for safety and wellbeing.

All the approaches are being tested for their effectiveness in helping young people understand and manage their own emotional wellbeing.' Department for Education
