Adrian Bethune

I'm Adrian Bethune and I've been a primary school teacher since 2010, with a huge passion and interest in the science of wellbeing, and how this research can be practically translated into schools for the benefit of pupils and staff. I believe that schools are places that directly contribute to children and staff's happiness, so we need to plan carefully how we do this so that the impact is a positive one. I help schools on this mission to take small, practical steps forward that are manageable, sustainable and impactful.
