This week, we were delighted to welcome the Zen Bus to the academy, giving students the opportunity to take part in a unique and engaging wellbeing experience. The visit was made possible thanks to Wates Construction, who generously funded this initiative as part of their commitment to social value and community wellbeing.
The Zen Bus Project is an innovative mobile mindfulness and wellbeing space designed to support young people’s mental health. The project transforms a traditional bus into a calm, interactive, and sensory-rich environment where students can take a break from their busy school day, reflect, and learn mindfulness techniques to manage stress and improve focus.
What Did Students Experience?
During their time on the Zen Bus, students engaged in a range of activities designed to promote relaxation and emotional wellbeing, including:
-
Mindfulness exercises – breathing techniques and guided relaxation to reduce stress
-
Sensory experiences – a calming space with soothing sounds and visuals
- Reflection and discussion – encouraging students to express their thoughts and emotions in a supportive environment.
The project aligns with our focus on student wellbeing and mental health awareness, offering strategies to help young people navigate challenges inside and outside the classroom.
A Big Thank You to Wates Construction and Zen Bus
We would like to thank Wates Construction for their generous funding of this opportunity, along with TheZenProjectUK for delivering a fantastic and meaningful experience for our students.
