Case Studies

Promoting calm and focus with PausePoints at a Carmarthenshire primary school

A Carmarthenshire primary school implemented PausePoints to support their students’ wellbeing throughout the school day. Within weeks, they noticed significant improvements in classroom behaviour and concentration levels, with teachers reporting fewer disruptions and faster transitions between activities. University trials and feedback from educational inspectors have consistently endorsed PausePoints as a best-practice resource for fostering emotional resilience in students.

Transforming self-regulation with Sleeping Lions at a Welsh primary school

At a Welsh primary school, teachers were introduced to Sleeping Lions as a new approach to help students with emotional and behavioural challenges. The biometric feedback and immersive activities allowed students to develop self-calming skills. Since implementing the program, teachers have reported improvements in classroom dynamics, with students becoming more independent in managing their feelings.
