Fully Funded Body Respect Education for Devon Schools
A new collaboration with Devon County Council sees all schools in Devon get access to fully funded body respect education from The Body Happy Organisation CIC.
ACCESS INCLUDES:
- Full schemes of work for KS3 and KS4
- A digital workshop for Years 5–6
- Staff CPD training delivered via Zoom
All resources are evidence-informed, inclusive, and designed to help pupils celebrate, respect and accept all bodies – especially their own.
Through this partnership, schools will be able to access strands of The Body Happy Schools Programme (the UK’s first whole-school body respect programme) available from September 2025, developed with support from The Fair Education Alliance.
Open to all primary and secondary schools in the Devon County Council area (including academies and maintained schools) for the rest of 2025, this is a unique opportunity to access completely free, ready to use body respect education materials designed to support student wellbeing and inclusion.
BODY RESPECT FOR PRIMARY & SECONDARY SETTINGS
The partnership sees both educators and students get access to supportive resources, from live and interactive CPD for staff, to full schemes of work for secondaries and an interactive digital workshop for primaries.
The schemes of work for secondary schools offer a series of progressive, relatable, engaging and evidence-aligned lessons for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 students, based on the four Body Happy Skills which are the building blocks for body respect underpinning The Body Happy Schools Programme.
The schemes also come with Teaching Guidance Packs, additional resources to accompany the lessons and a full impact evaluation toolkit. The lessons are flexible, adaptive and manageable, with built-in scaffolding for SEND and EAL students. Importantly, they are designed through a lens of youth-led action and advocacy, which is the basis of The Body Happy Schools Programme.
For primary schools, the partnership also includes interactive CPD workshops for key staff in each setting, offering practical strategies and solutions to build classroom cultures of body respect. As well as the support for educators, the offer includes access to our ground-breaking Body Happy Digital Workshop. This is an interactive, animated and evidence-aligned workshop - again based on the four Body Happy Skills - with breakout activities designed through a lens of youth-led advocacy and action.
The partnership runs through the summer and autumn term of 2025, and access will close at the end of December this year. CPD sessions are running in June, July, September and October. Places are limited to enable at least one key staff member from each setting in the Devon County Council area to access the training.
