Overview

BOUNCE is a practical, evidence-informed wellbeing programme for primary schools. It helps children learn how to calm big feelings, build confidence, and cope with everyday challenges — using shared language and tools across school and home.

Designed by Clinical Psychologists, BOUNCE supports:

  • Pupils to understand their emotions and develop resilience
  • Staff to feel confident responding to behaviour and emotions
  • Parents to use the same language and strategies at home

How it works

Children learn emotional skills step by step as they move through school.
Each year builds on the last, so skills are revisited, strengthened and embedded over time.

The programme combines:

  • Simple brain-based strategies children can actually use

  • Consistent language across classrooms, staff and families

  • Visual tools, characters and routines that make skills memorable

What schools notice

  • Calmer classrooms
  • Children who can name feelings and ask for help
  • Staff feeling more confident and aligned
  • Parents using the same language at home

BOUNCE isn’t about adding more to the curriculum — it’s about making emotional skills part of everyday school life.
