This week, our Year 6 students took part in a Healthy Minds Workshop to prepare for the upcoming exam season. It was a fantastic session focused on understanding exam nerves and building emotional resilience.

They looked at:

• The Science of Worry: Understanding why we feel anxious during tests.

• Self-Help Tools: Learning practical grounding techniques to stay calm at their desks.

• Stay Positive: Shifting focus toward confidence and effort.

With the SATs approaching, these new strategies are a brilliant addition to our students’ toolkits. By learning how to keep their minds healthy and balanced, our children are feeling more prepared, relaxed, and ready to show what they can do.
