Wishing you all a Restful Winter Break!
The Heads Up Kids team will be taking a break between Mid December and early January. It has been a busy Autumn Term with lots of training, teacher support, creating new free resources, a big fundraising event, writing grant applications and report writing. It’s a small team doing big things and we’re grateful for all the support. Everything we do goes towards developing tools and resources for children to positively impact their mental health. We love working with schools and we look forward to sharing with you soon about the impact of the Heads Up Kids programmes from the first term of 2025 – 2026!
Welcome to Heads Up Kids!
Heads Up Kids is a charity promoting positive mental health through our social and emotional wellbeing curriculum. The programmes for Reception through to Year 6 are delivered in the classroom by the class teacher.
We aim to provide high quality resources and increase access to wellbeing provision through our subsidised programmes. All of the programmes are mapped against PSHE requirements and can easily be slotted into any scheme of work.
Written by Andy Hugh and Claire Godley, the overall aim is to create a shared emotional language in the classroom. We believe that; “in a classroom where children have the words to express their feelings and feel confident to do so, those children will be more resilient, more able to solve problems, they will have more empathy for others and be better able to work collaboratively”.
We train teachers to facilitate the programmes in the classroom and embed wellbeing into the culture of the class. Teachers attend training and are then given access to the programmes and resources.
We believe that all teachers can be teachers of wellbeing.
