Mind Moose offers primary schools a fun, engaging way to support children with their mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Our flagship interactive, online learning programme helps children to develop their coping skills, sense of self-worth and resilience.
Children go on a journey of mental wellbeing discovery with Mind Moose and friends, watching short, fun animations to introduce them to key concepts before completing interactive activities. They earn badges and certificates along the way and ‘Moose Missions’ encourage them to take their learning and apply it to their real life at school and home.
Each child’s work is stored in their ‘backpack’ which is shared with their teacher and, along with other in-built tools, gives insight into a child’s social and emotional health and mental wellbeing.
Mind Moose is most suitable for pupils in Years 4-6, although it can be used with younger pupils and can be a very helpful during the transition to secondary school in Year 7.
How Mind Moose Can Fit into Your School Curriculum
Schools use Mind Moose in different ways. Most use it as a one-to-one intervention to help children needing additional support with their emotional health and mental wellbeing. Other schools use it as a whole-class resource, led by a teacher.
As well as the online learning, consisting of 6 modules relating to different aspects of mental health and wellbeing, comprehensive teacher and parent guides are included for each module. They explain the psychology and therapeutic approach behind each topic in an easy to understand way and gives additional ideas to try at school and home.
The online Mind Moose programme can be accessed on computers and tablets, enabling flexible learning during the school day, which children can continue at home if wished to suit your timetable and needs.

We are really enjoying using Mind Moose at St. Aidan’s. Our learning mentor has been using it as an intervention with some of our most vulnerable children in Years 2 to 6. We have also used it as a whole class resource in Years 1 and 5 and found huge levels of engagement and reflection from the children. We would highly recommend Mind Moose, it is fantastic.
