Welcome to Breathing Space in Schools
Breathing Space offers programmes to support emotional and mental well-being for staff, students and the whole school community. We do this by using mindfulness and creative tools that support good communication, productivity and emotional resilience. We specialise in offering a tailored approach to meet you and your school’s needs.
To help you do what you can to support your staff and students' well-being, we can also deliver some of our mindfulness tasters and courses online.
With more mindful awareness, children are able to recognise and talk about their range of emotions, to understand when they need to ask for support and to practise self-care techniques. It also helps with finding focus and calm in the midst of all that is going on...

Tasters and Insets
You’ve heard about mindfulness, would like to experience the benefits that are promised but are not sure where to start.
A taster or inset session gives you an opportunity to try out mindfulness with your students or staff to see if it is right for you.
Programmes for Students
You work in a busy and complex school, and would like to offer your students effective and simple ways to deal with stress, manage their emotions and become more focussed and productive when learning.
You know mindfulness could help and you would like a programme that is effective and delivered by an experienced facilitator.
Programmes for Staff
You want a successful school with a stable staff team and you know that supporting them to manage their workload and stress more effectively will help greatly.
A mindfulness course will give staff simple and effective strategies that have immediate and long-term benefits.
Staff can also train with us to become mindfulness mentors for students.
The Benefits of Mindfulness
We support Northwold Primary School in their journey towards becoming a mindful school with mindfulness courses for all of their pupils and most of their staff as well as training some staff to become mindfulness mentors.
They're already reaping many benefits and we're grateful for permission to share the delightful film they made after the first year...

Even though I love my job and am looking forward to sharing the tools of mindfulness and meditation in new and old schools this autumn, I realised a few days ago that I was feeling sad about the end of the school holidays and anxious about the beginning of the new school year. Sound familiar? Some teaching friends are…
When I first started practising mindfulness and meditation many years ago, not only was it all new to me, but most other people didn’t know what I was talking about either. Now, I can pick up the free paper on the train (like yesterday) and find a little piece that tells me that a study has…
I’ve been practising mindfulness for over 30 years. That might sound like bragging except it doesn’t mean that I’m perfectly mindful! One of the things it does mean is that I cope much better with making mistakes and not being Superwoman. For example, a couple of months ago I lost my phone. Boy, did that cause…
Our Experience
Each Breathing Space teacher is a long term mindfulness practitioner who is inspired to guide and support others to discover its benefits. We all wish we had learned it when we were young!
We know only too well that this is an ongoing practice. It's about progress, not perfection and is about being awake to our experience, to other people and the world around us. We bring this attention and care to our teaching and relationships with schools.
