For Schools

Conscious Educator Approach + Toolbox of Well-Being Practices = The Compassionate School Community You Always Wanted To Build

Cultivating a compassionate school community centred on well-being is the foundation for student and staff success and fulfilment.

Well-being is a whole school commitment based on building kind, compassionate and responsive relationships, where staff are considered trusted adults by the students they support, and where everyone has the tools and the time to centre their own well-being.

When we make well-being a priority in educational settings everyone knows they matter. The implications of creating an environment like this can be the cornerstone of a thriving school community increasing:

Staff retention – because people want to work in an environment where their well-being is valued,
Applications from the local community for places – because families want their children to attend schools where their well-being is prioritised.
This combination makes for a flourishing community where:
Everyone is confident to be themselves and can cope with challenges and achieve their dreams.
Staff have the capacity to make learning exciting and students excel academically.
As a former teacher and the creator and lead facilitator of SHINE Brightly Well-Being, I combine my passion for supporting and inspiring children and young people, over 25 years of experience, and knowledge of children’s learning and development, with a unique combination of mindful movement, meditation, breathing and energy-balancing activities, alongside mindset practices.

Beckie was very passionate and shared the importance and benefits of well-being exercises for children. Made it feel like something achievable in the classroom

Susan Bovill – Teacher

The training was excellent. Delivered very well. It was so nice that Beckie was a former teacher and she understood the day-to-day role of teaching and how children work. Thank you

The well-being of children is really important to me but mindfulness is something I was unsure of. I now feel more confident. Thank you
