Subsidised Mindfulness for EYFS, KS1 & KS2

MiSP is delighted to be able to offer, with support from the CHK Foundation, highly subsidised places for teachers at schools in England and Wales* with higher-than-average free school meal places for its courses, specifically:

• .begin (an 8-week mindfulness course that allows you to learn mindfulness for yourself, develop your own practice and meet the prerequisites for the subsequent Train to Teach course below)
• Train to Teach dots (for 3-6 year olds) or Train to Teach Paws b (for 7 -11 year olds)
• School Mindfulness Lead (for teachers already trained in Teach dots or Teach Paws b who would like to take the next step to become a School Mindfulness Lead)

*Whilst MiSP works in each of the 4 nations of the UK, the CHK Foundation is constituted to work only in England and Wales, hence schools in these areas being eligible to apply.

1. A minimum of 2 and maximum of 4 teachers trained in any one school (NB. We can also consider for the minimum of 2, schools that already have one trained teacher wanting a second teacher trained to support with overall sustainability; if releasing 2 teachers is a challenge right now, please do also get in touch to see what might be possible).
2. MiSP/ CHK funding to cover 80% of the costs, with a 20% contribution coming from the school itself.
3. .begin at the subsidised rate to be offered as a package with Teach dots or Teach Paws b; as well as Teach dots or Teach Paws b offered at the subsidised rate for those who have already completed .begin (or an equivalent approved 8-week mindfulness course).
4. Teachers, as mentioned above, need to be based at schools in England and Wales with higher-than-average free school meal places.
5. When selecting the course, teachers need to check they meet the prerequisites for the specific course(s). Individuals will need to take .begin if they have not already done an equivalent 8-week mindfulness course.
6. NB. Please do get in touch if you are keen to be involved but there continue to be barriers. MiSP is keen to learn what these might be to ensure funding and our courses are as accessible as possible.
