Providing pauses for pupils

PausePoints is our comprehensive, whole-school digital approach to fostering student wellbeing. Designed for quick, seamless integration into the school day, this resource offers structured moments of calm that help students reset and refocus. Recognised as best practice by school inspectorate Estyn, PausePoints has gained widespread appreciation from teachers across the nation for its simplicity, effectiveness, and immediate positive impact on classroom dynamics.

What is PausePoints?

Using yoga-inspired movements to create physical ‘pauses’ within the school day, PausePoints is a tried and tested method of providing moments of wellbeing and stillness to primary aged pupils.

With our user-friendly videos and the flexibility to adapt this resource to your school’s unique timetable, PausePoints impacts on children’s behaviour and ability to settle and learn – without impacting on teacher workload.

Our whole school resource takes only a couple of minutes to implement at the beginning or end of a teaching session and can be successfully delivered within the classroom.

Does it work?

Trials by the University of Glasgow and endorsements by Estyn have shown that the implementation of PausePoints has positive influences on children’s ability to learn. By fostering resilience and encouraging breathing techniques, our program has been shown to improve pupils’ concentration skills and inspire them to be healthy, confident and ambitious.
