Headssup

NHS commissioned in Lancashire - Yr 6-7 Transition.

Headssup is a face to face delivered project for EYFS and Year 6 transition to help pupils understand their emotional, social, physical and friendship health and to help them prepare for the move.

30/01/2026

💛 As Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 (9–15 Feb) approaches, this year’s theme “This Is My Place” reminds us how vital it is for children to feel they belong, feel safe, included and truly valued.

This week, Aughton St Michaels CE Primary School will kick off their Year 6 transition journey with a Headssup Wellbeing Reset workshop — helping pupils understand their emotions, friendships and wellbeing before moving on to secondary school.

By working with both primary and secondary schools, we help create a smoother, more confident transition for pupils, so they feel supported, connected and ready for their next chapter.

This transition work is backed by research with Lancaster University, and we’ve just finalised our latest survey report — which will be shared with local trust senior leaders in the coming weeks.

I’m proud to have worked with local schools for three consecutive years, and with four Lancashire secondary schools again in 2026.

Primary schools who haven’t yet booked or rebooked a Year 6 Transition morning or afternoon session — get in touch:

Secondary schools: if you’d like help supporting your incoming Year 7s this year, I’d love to hear from you too!

Because every child deserves to feel: this is my place 💛

This was terrifying and exciting in equal measure…

Thank you to all who attended this week's Collaboration Cafe where we heard from Jane Booth, founder of Headssup CIC, and Dr Jude Lunn, from Lancaster University’s Division of Health Research, who shared details of their burgeoning research and evaluation partnership.

Jane has drawn on her experience as a teacher and parent to develop evidence-based and relational activities to support children and young people's emotional, social, physical and friendship health. She shared powerful testimonials of benefits to the emotional health of children engaging with the Headssup programme, not least through the universally-loved Emi (Emotional Intelligence) beanie mascot.

Headssup will continue to refine its practice through further collaborative evaluation and research, working with Jude and other Lancaster researchers to improve young people's wellbeing in educational settings.

Really early start 🤪

Off to London to do a podcast 😬

I had the opportunity yesterday morning to present Headssup, Emi, and the story behind the project at the Collaboration Café at Lancaster University’s Health Innovation Centre (HIC).

I was joined by Dr. Judith Lunn, Senior Lecturer in Health Psychology, and together we shared the research we’ve been conducting on the Year 6–7 transition in Lancashire schools in partnership with Endeavour Learning Trust.

The event was introduced by Glyn Jones, Partnerships Development Manager for the Health Innovations Team, and Jez Bebbington, Partnerships Development Manager for the NHS, and was attended by a variety of guests from the education and health sectors, along with members of the HIC team.

It was a fantastic chance to pause, reflect, and highlight the journey of Headssup and Emi over the past ten years, and the level of interest in the project—both during the presentation and afterwards—was incredibly encouraging.

I also spoke about how Emi had helped a 4 year old in a school last week - there wasn’t a dry eye, myself included 🥹

Several exciting new collaborations also emerged from the event, and I’m really looking forward to developing these further in 2026.

I truly value working with the HIC and the teams at the University.

Thank you to my son Will for getting up so early and filming the presentation - he’ll be busy working his magic and editing it today 👏😬, and thank you to everyone involved yesterday—see you for mince pies next week! 🎄

Reception Ready Emi - more special feedback received today… 🤩🥰

“*** is having a lovely first term, she is very fortunate to have three older sisters who have been through the same process at the same school, two of whom still attend, so she had a lot of preparation.

She loves her Emi and loved reading through the poem each day for a few days before starting school.

She wanted to take her Emi every day but after the first week they discouraged cuddly toys 🤷🏻‍♂️

The content is relevant and helpful, and above all I think she really appreciated and benefitted from the overall specialness of having her own time and content dedicated to this.

I have already made plenty of Emi recommendations and will continue to do so for friends with littlies starting over the coming years!”

Reception ready Emi 🤩

🙏🩷😍

This made me cry 🥹

Received last night off an EYFS lead who has Emi and booklets for each of her reception and year one little learners…

“ I was working with a little girl who is situational mute. We use lots of sliding in strategies, and we do now have consistent non-verbal communication from her in form of nodding and pointing but she has not yet been able to speak in school to staff or peers.

Today, I asked the children to draw their EMI and use the corresponding colours they feel when at school. This little girl drew a mostly purple EMI and wrote the word 'school' next to it. I showed her my picture and explained that I too have some purple but that I noticed she has lots and wondered if she could tell me why she was feeling so scared about school. She flicked through booklet 2 and pointed to nervous. She continued to point and then match the colours on her EMI picture to the secondary emotions in booklet 2.

EMI was a really great tool today and has given me a really clear picture of her own understanding of her mutism. She went on to draw another EMI which is yellow and wrote the word 'home' next to it. An absolutely beautiful use of EMI's colours and emotion awareness!

Just wanted to share and pass on the smile. 🙂”

Beautiful - thank you SO much for sharing x
