Healthy Minds

As part of Godolphin’s affiliation with the Slough Schools Sports Network, we have been hosting Healthy Minds sessions annually. The Healthy Minds programme consists of one-hour sessions, every week, for six weeks.

Some of the benefits of providing regular Healthy Minds sessions in schools are:

• reduces stress and anxiety
• boosts confidence and motivation
• improves self-awareness and relationships
• improves memory recall
• increases intelligence
• helps develop a clear, sharp mind
• improves decision making and life choices
• turns negative thinking into positive thinking
• provides time-out for pupils to relax, and learn to still their minds and body.

The sessions are delivered by a qualified practitioner, Lisa Willis. The aim of the sessions is to help create Healthy Minds for a Healthy Future: "together we can make a difference."

Our students are extremely enthusiastic and engaged during the sessions and teachers have commented that the children return to class noticeably calm, focused and ready to learn.

Our children have learnt breathing exercises and techniques, in order to keep them calm and relaxed.

They have also focused on Brain Yoga (this promotes mind clarity and inner peace).

A huge thank you to the Slough Sport Network for providing these sessions.
