Teaching Resources

Bring the body happy message into your classroom with our peer-reviewed range of body image lesson plans and teaching resources to help children explore big conversations about bodies in an age-appropriate way.

Our body image lessons and learning activities are developed by teachers with specific expertise in nutrition, body image and health-first fitness, before being peer-reviewed by our network of experts (who include therapists, registered nutritionists, GPs and dietitians).

All our body image teaching resources are mapped to Ofsted requirements and will enable you to meet the RSE statutory requirements on the National Curriculum in England. They’re also easily adaptable for any curriculum, so if your aim is to teach children about body image and to nurture healthy and positive relationships with food and movement, along with creating a school culture of kindness and acceptance, these are the resources for you, wherever you are based.

Positive body image is an area that impacts well-being, health, academic attainment and safeguarding, with research showing negative body image can affect children as young as three years old. Our body image teaching resources and CPD workshops will give you the tools to help the children in your care be friends with their bodies.

Here at Body Happy Org we believe in a whole school approach, which is why we offer these resources alongside our valued and highly popular CPD training opportunities.

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.
