HOLY NAME LEEDS

Caroline Barker, a primary school teacher from Holy Name in Leeds, has activated Mini Mermaid Running Club  in her school for the past three years.

​The programme, which combines physical activity and mindfulness, uses two key characters: Mini Mermaid, our inner cheerleader and Siren, our inner critic, to build resilience and self-esteem among girls age 7-11. Caroline has seen first-hand how girls apply these skills and lessons learned in Mini Mermaids, in the classroom. 


“One of my Mini Mermaids was working through a difficult maths problem,” said Caroline. “Rather than give up, she said ‘I am silencing Siren. I can do my fractions. I’m listening to my Mermaid voice.’
