As a result of the programme in PE for example they are being much more mindful of each other. One of the boys is very anxious/nervous and the stronger boys have started encouraging him and getting him involved! The boy has since progressed, now he’s going swimming, he’s more vocal and he likes PE now!

The pupils 100% benefited from the programme After the ALFL programme they did a mindfulness programme, and the mindfulness teacher said this class were way ahead of other classes – much more open and took it all in. She couldn’t believe how far ahead they were.

The children and I loved the programme, it was very user-friendly with very clearly planned out with precise objectives. It’s one of the best and most effective programmes I’ve used since I started teaching 19 years ago!

I love how the lessons are available to print so easily, along with the lesson support sheet and lesson slides. Everything is so accessible at the click of a button - which is so important in a busy classroom.

Friendships change a lot in 3rd and 4th class and it’s been great to have the videos and programme to refer to.
