This year’s #IBGC2025 theme, “Our Humanity, Connected”, is at the heart of what we do. When students feel safe, heard, and empowered, they develop the confidence to navigate our ever-changing world—not just in school, but for life. Wellbeing is no longer an add-on; it’s the foundation of a thriving learning environment. Emotional literacy is just as vital as academic success, and when schools integrate both, the impact is profound. ?? Our partner schools that embed our structured wellbeing strategies into daily learning report: ? Stronger connections across the entire school community ? Enhanced emotional communication skills—helping students express themselves with confidence ? Increased readiness to learn—creating engaged, resilient learners ??

? Reflections from NABSS Madrid Last week, we had the privilege of attending #NABSS Madrid, connecting with inspiring educators and school leaders. Beyond the insightful discussions, there were some standout moments—a visit to Real Madrid’s legendary Santiago Bernabéu Stadium ? and a fantastic gala dinner, both setting the stage for meaningful conversations. One theme came up again and again: students are struggling to express their emotions and talk about their feelings—a challenge that isn’t unique to Spain but is seen worldwide. Many school leaders shared how difficult it is for students to recognise and regulate their emotions, which makes it harder for them to understand and express their feelings. Without these skills, their confidence, relationships, and ability to manage challenges can suffer. It’s a powerful reminder of just how important emotional literacy is in education. We’ve seen firsthand how transformative this can be in our partner schools. With just 5-10 minutes a day, our wellbeing programme helps students develop emotional awareness, regulate their emotions, and build confidence. When emotional wellbeing is prioritised, behaviour improves, anxiety decreases, and learning thrives. A huge thank you to NABSS Madrid for an inspiring event. If your school is looking to strengthen student wellbeing, we’d love to share more about how we’re making a difference. ?? ??

?? Mental wellness in schools: quick fixes don’t work New research from the DfE confirms what many educators already know—one-off wellbeing interventions don’t make a lasting difference. Raising awareness is important, but without ongoing support, students can be left recognising their struggles without the tools to manage them. We speak to so many schools that understand this but aren’t sure where to start. How do you embed mental wellness into daily school life without adding to teachers’ workload? It doesn’t have to be complicated. Simple, consistent approaches—woven into the school day—make the biggest impact. When students have daily opportunities to recognise, express, and manage their emotions, the results speak for themselves: better behaviour, reduced anxiety, and a more positive learning environment. This is something we’re passionate about, and we’ve seen first-hand how small changes can create a big shift. If you’re looking for practical, easy-to-implement ways to make mental wellness a natural part of your school’s culture, let’s chat. ?? Get in touch with us here: https://lnkd.in/e6auHtzY ??
