Heads Up Kids is a social and emotional wellbeing curriculum.
We have programmes for EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. All of our programmes focus on four core themes:
- Emotional literacy
- Emotional regulation
- Getting on with others
- Building positivity and resilience
The whole-class group experience gives children the opportunity to think about how they feel about themselves, how they express themselves, interact with others and manage difficult feelings. The programme builds children’s capacity to work collaboratively and develops class cohesion. Heads Up Kids seeks to boost children’s confidence, self-esteem and resilience.
A key outcome of the programme is that the skills that teachers and children begin to develop are not just confined to the classroom sessions but make an ongoing difference and impact on all areas of school life. Providing this opportunity creates a strong baseline for emotional literacy and positive mental health as well as helping to highlight those children who may require early intervention or support. The programme seeks to normalise discussion around social and emotional challenges in order to make it easier for children to speak up when they encounter difficulties.
