How do the Heads Up Kids programmes compliment RSE and PSHE requirements?
The Heads Up Kids Programmes fulfil curriculum requirements for caring friendships and mental wellbeing, as well as aspects of respectful relationships.
The programmes have been fully mapped against the statutory guidelines and PSHE Association objectives, so that they can be easily slotted into any programme of study.
In line with Ofsted recommendations, the Heads Up Kids Wellbeing Curriculum supports children to develop:
Resilience to setbacks
Acquisition of social confidence
Self-belief
Self-control/self-regulation
Coping skills
Positive mental health
An understanding and appreciation of diversity
A sense of responsibility for their contribution to groups and wider society
A school environment where bullying peer on per abuse or discrimination are not tolerated
“Schools have an important role in the fostering of good mental wellbeing among young people so that they can fulfil their potential at school and are well-prepared for adult life.”
