Hampton School is one of the pioneers of Mindfulness practice in education.
We use the Mindfulness in Schools Project’s (MiSP) course which is specifically aimed at introducing Mindfulness to teenagers in schools and designed to encourage and support the flourishing of young minds.
Mindfulness is introduced as part of the Fourth Year curriculum alongside a course in Wellbeing and Resilience that has been written by one of our Deputy Heads, Mr Mark Nicholson.
Mindfulness techniques help build confidence, wellbeing and focus, enabling all pupils to flourish.
They help us to recognise our inner critic and balance this with more discernment and kindness towards ourselves. With this often comes more confidence as well as encouraging top performances academically and in sport.
Boys involved in music, drama and public speaking also follow the practices from the course allowing them to deliver exceptional performances on stage.
