Impact
A more open classroom starts with shared language
When children have words for their emotions, they are better able to explain what is happening, ask for help and understand the experiences of others. Teachers using Heads Up Kids have reported more empathy, greater class cohesion and stronger relationships between children and staff.
They have also seen children develop strategies for regulating emotions, navigating friendship difficulties and responding more positively when things do not go to plan.
What teachers have observed
Children are becoming more confident expressing themselves and asking for support. They are learning that feelings can be managed, relationships can be repaired and difficult moments do not have to define what happens next.
The programme also gives teachers a practical language and set of tools they can return to when supporting the social and emotional life of the class.
Learning from every programme
Evaluation helps us understand what is working, what schools need and how our programmes can continue to improve. We gather feedback from teachers and children and use this learning to develop future training, resources and delivery.
As our reach grows, we want the evidence on this page to grow with it. Current figures, programme outcomes and case studies should give schools and funders a clear, honest picture of the difference their involvement can make.
