As Lyfta turns 10, we’ve been reflecting on the schools helping children feel calm & connected. At St Mary’s CofE Primary in Rochdale, Lyfta is supporting #wellbeing, self-regulation, #oracy, #belonging.“Every child can engage and thrive” - KS1 Lead Francesca Robinson See: bit.ly/4tpGcGV #GCED #ESD

St Mary’s CofE Primary: A whole-school Lyfta routine to strengthen wellbeing, self-regulation and oracy - Lyfta Blog
At St Mary’s, Monday mornings begin with an opportunity for children to look outward - and then, gently, back at themselves through a Lyfta storyworld. Lyfta supports a consistent, whole-school routine that helps children calm for the day, speak more confidently, and build a shared language for empathy and belonging.
