How can Headstand PE work with your school?

We work one on one and with small groups of targeted children who require additional support. Through talk therapy and physical activity we provide a safe and friendly environment where triggers for mental health problems can be identified and coping strategies established.
​
Each child will receive specifically designed sessions tailored to their needs, supported by individual progress reports.

HOW WE CAN HELP

• Low confidence and self-esteem

• Stress & anxiety
• Difficulties with home life
• Communication skills
• Behavioural problems
• Depression
• Friendships & Conflict resolution

“Without exception, every member of staff of this large primary spoke favourably of Robin and often commented on his positive approach to pupils and his professional, friendly and caring demeanour."

Mental Health in Schools

Did you know...

• Most mental health issues are developed at a young age.
  ​
  
• The earlier these issues are identified, the significantly greater the chance of developing effective coping strategies and recovery.
  
  
• 13.6% children in schools have a diagnosable mental health issue. Source: mind.org
  
  
• A survey of teachers and support staff revealed that 83% have seen an increase in poor mental health of their students.
  Source: National Education Union
  
  
• Mental health support is at the forefront of the government’s education plan, with £300m being pledged to schools for mental health support. Source: gov.uk
  
  
• Ofsted’s new framework recognises that it is important to continue to support individual students with specific behavioural and mental health needs but there is also a need to create a culture that fosters emotional well-being and resiliency within the school. Source: Ofsted

What part does PE have to play?

Extensive studies have proven the positive effects that physical activity can have on mental health.

PE provides a safe, friendly and fun environment for children to express themselves.

Physical activity releases hormones which help to elevate mood and manage stress levels.

Provides a distraction from the everyday classroom environment.
