The Neuronimo Programme

The Neuronimo programme is a children and young person’s mental and physical health programme. It is delivered by a children’s charity called Reverse The Trend Foundation in partnership with the Education Authority. Reverse The Trend Foundation uses evidence-based neuroscience to promote mental wellness in our children. It does not rely on short-term fixes such as limiting screen time. Instead, the Neuronimo programme uses evidence supported by University partners to change behaviour and create healthy habits around mental and physical health. 

Our pupils will complete short, fun, goal-orientated tasks over a period of 12 weeks with their teacher in school. During the programme they are supported online by Neuronimo Ambassadors who help create healthy habits. The tasks can be as short as 3-4 minutes for mental health tasks or 15 minutes for physical activity tasks.

The Neuronimo programme is also available for use at home with a home link for parents and P5-P7 pupils.  This is an opportunity to supplement any Neuronimo learning in school. The Home Access is not compulsory but we do encourage it where possible. The link for Neuronimo at home is unique to Derrychrin Primary School. The link will take parents and P5-P7 pupils to the Learning Management System where they will be prompted to sign up and create a log-in. This will give them access to selected course material. Each parent and pupil will have an individual log-in so they can move through the course at their preferred pace allowing for inset days, holidays etc. 

The link for Neuronimo at home will be issued in a private message to parents on the SCHOOLS NI App
