Supporting Mental Health in Primary Schools

Video Case Study and Training Opportunity

Active Devon is excited to share a fantastic training opportunity with you which supports mental health in primary school settings. Stormbreak supports schools to embed mentally healthy movement across the school day to build resilience, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing. This training helps staff confidently integrate movement into everyday practice.

You can watch the case study video from Riverside Community Primary School in Plymouth here.

Active Devon and Stormbreak are hosting an info webinar for schools on Thursday 22nd May 2025, 4.30pm – 5.30pm. Training will take place on various dates in September and October 2025. You can express your interest and sign up for the webinar here.

We have secured funding to fully fund Plymouth schools taking part. The training is normally £1500 for schools with 150 pupils or more or £750 for schools with less than 150 pupils.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss how this programme could benefit your setting, please get in touch with Rebecca Skinner: rebecca.skinner@activedevon.org.
