Our Mindfulness Curriculum Overview

Please find below a brief overview of our carefully curated curriculum from EYFS to UKS2.

All sessions are planned, resourced and aligned with Development Matters (for EYFS) or the National Curriculum expectations. Detailed Success Criteria for individual Key Stages will be provided when delivering sessions in school.
