Primary schools across the UK are facing a growing gap between children’s emotional wellbeing needs and the resources available to support them.
Teachers are increasingly managing anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, and behaviour alongside academic delivery, often without access to specialist training or scalable support.
While schools understand the importance of early intervention, many lack affordable, school-embedded wellbeing programmes that can be delivered consistently and at scale. The result is rising pressure on classrooms, families, and wider public services.
Early, preventative wellbeing support improves learning outcomes, inclusion, and long-term resilience — reducing escalation and creating lasting social impact.
