Please note: in September 2024 we were announced as winners of The Fair Education Alliance Awards. As part of this win we’ve received funding and support to develop The Body Happy Schools Programme, the UK’s first whole school 360-degree programme fostering classroom cultures of body respect and help children and young people celebrate, respect and accept ALL bodies - especially their own. We’re currently developing, piloting and fundraising to scale this programme. It will roll out in September 2025, at which point our current offering will be absorbed into the programme and we’ll be reviewing many individual aspects of our provision including access many of the resources within our Teaching Hub individually, outside of the whole school programme.
