A physical activity partnership from across the Yorkshire and the Humber region is excited to announce the launch of a new resource for schools to help further integrate ‘moving more’ into regular school life.
“If physical activity were a drug, we would refer to it as a miracle cure, due to the great many illnesses it can prevent and help treat.” UK Chief Medical Officer
This new one-minute guide will help bring to life some of the many benefits that schools could achieve through moving more and sitting less. The resource focuses on 4 key themes:
1) Academic achievement
2) Behaviour and social development
3) Sleep
4) Emotional wellbeing (mental health)
We hope that this new resource will help further the health and wellbeing of your pupils (and staff!) and support you with achieving wider school objectives.
Bradford for Everyone brings you critical thinking resources. Your school will be constantly doing lots of work on Internet Safety, and hopefully you will know how to be online in the safest way possible. Critical thinking workshops aren’t designed to be an online safety course. They are designed to help you think about the information delivered to you each day, and how to think about things from a different perspective. It’s not always about checking if something is “TRUE” or “FALSE”, as often, it’s not that straightforward. It’s about thinking what information is being presented to you, thinking about where it came from, how it makes you feel and learning to take a moment to pause and think about what you want to do with it.
These Programme Insights aim to collate and share the learning emerging from A Better Start (ABS) on a range of key programme outcome areas in order to inform the work of others in improving outcomes for young children.
This issue is number four in the series. It provides a summary of emerging evidence in the area of childhood trauma and adversity, and shares the learning on how ABS partnerships have embedded an awareness of the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) within their work, and how they are supporting the development of trauma informed practice, within and outside of their partnerships.

The School Games aims to provide every child with a positive experience in an environment where the young person’s motivation, competence and confidence are at the centre of the competition. The toolkit is designed to support teachers of all children (i.e. primary, secondary, special and alternative provision settings) to carefully consider their part in reducing the risk of a negative experience in sports competitions. It is intended to help you to select, prepare and support more young people to have a positive experience of competition. The toolkit can be accessed on the link below.
Tick-off 50 fantastic things for you and your child to experience together.
50 Things To Do ages five to eleven gives you 50 activities that parents and carers can support their children to try out and repeat. We have made sure that children with special education needs are included and that each of the 50 Things means something across our culturally diverse communities.
We have put together some useful links and sources of mental health support so that children and young people, parents, carers, and school and college staff can get the advice and help they need.
Mentally Healthy Schools have put together some resources around Black history. The resources shared here are split into sections for primary schools and secondary and FE settings. There is also a section sharing whole-school approach resources.
All the resources included focus on mental health themes, helping schools to explore ideas around diversity, self-belief, identity and the impact of racism on those who experience it.
