The BOUNCE Programme
A whole-school approach to emotional wellbeing and resilience
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:
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
BOUNCE isn’t about adding more to the curriculum — it’s about making emotional skills part of everyday school life.
