-
Ready-to-teach lessons for each year group, ages 2-11 (1x weekly lesson for EYFS & Years 1-6; zero extra planning)

Our Curriculum Structure
The Kind Minds Curriculum includes 4 key pillars of learning content. The content within these 4 pillars of learning increases in complexity as the children progress through their primary years.
Concentrate
Children develop the ability to train and direct their attention using creative and sensory mindfulness activities.
Calm
Children learn self-regulation tools including mindful breathing. They explore the interconnection between their brains, minds and emotions.
Connect
Children learn how to be a kind friend to themselves and others (self-kindness & self-care) so that they acquire lifelong tools to manage their mental wellbeing.
Create
Children express themselves through creative mindfulness activities and learn to apply the mindfulness tools they have learnt into their everyday lives.

Kind Minds is the best wellbeing curriculum I have come across. I have a simple structure to follow and we finally have emotional literacy resources, lessons and guidance that goes above and beyond the provisions within the national curriculum. Highly recommend to all school senior management teams.

Zouch Academy
The Kind Minds Curriculum is really embedded at Zouch. The children are used to their mindfulness time and activities at 1pm everyday throughout the school. I recently carried out a pupil voice on behaviour across the school, and almost all of the children talked about the strategies they have been taught which help them to self regulate if they are feeling upset or angry. This shows the impact of the consistency of teaching the children the Kind Minds Curriculum. I feel that every school should have the Kind Minds Curriculum to support their children's emotions.

Adopting a whole-school approach to mindfulness through the Kindness Curriculum has been a game-changer. Evidence from pupil voice clearly shows that children across our three-form entry primary school feel more equipped to manage their emotions, and we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in behaviour and emotional regulation in every classroom. The practical, creative, and discussion-based lessons are a real highlight for pupils—engaging them in meaningful ways and making mindfulness both accessible and enjoyable. Children confidently talk about the mindfulness strategies they’ve learned and how these help them manage their emotions and focus on learning.
