Discover a Whole-School Wellbeing Revolution (Without Overwhelm)

Your school isn’t failing, it’s just been under too much pressure for too long.

Maybe your staff and pupils are exhausted, stressed, or disconnected. Not because they lack resilience, but because they haven’t had the time, tools, or support to restore balance.

Let the SUNRISE begin! A trauma‑informed, teacher‑led wellbeing programme built to transform KS1 classrooms through gentle, sustainable practices.

Why Fresh Little Minds SUNRISE Works…

1. Built for real-life schools, not theory: Easy-to-use props, like the AMBER puppet & Bamber alongside selected children’s mental health & resilience tools and guided activities create tangible outcomes in classrooms for children and teachers.

2. Resilience that lasts a lifetime: Schools gain lifetime access to the FLM SUNRISE platform and reusable materials, this is an enduring investment in your staff, children, and school culture.

3. Simple daily rituals, big ripple effects: Short, consistent sessions help children feel secure, calm, and empowered, and teachers feel resourced, confident, and connected.

4. As Teacher you are not alone: This isn’t about fixing classrooms fatigued, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, it’s about enabling the transformation of classrooms to places of connection and growth once again

5. A commitment that lasts: FLM SUNRISE is more than a programme, it’s a renewal of possibility. With lifetime materials and platform access, you get enduring benefits for your whole school.
