The Well HQ for schools
We want girls to keep active during puberty and beyond.
Periods, body confidence, feeling like they don’t belong are just a few reasons why girls are dropping out of sport at twice the rate of boys, or aren’t fulfilling their potential performance.

Be the team she needs
Activation events
E.g. Sport in Her Shoes Days – tailored to your School, your students, your needs, your timetable.
A full day of talks and workshops to promote Girls in Sport and educate young females and establish a culture where they work with, rather than against, their changing bodies.
Talks and workshops to students
Between one-two hours per talk / workshop.
Delivered in any topic areas to empower girls with knowledge about their female body so that they can remain active and fulfil their potential for participation or elite performance.
Talks to parents
45-minutes online or part of an activation event.
Parents are a crucial part of a girls’ support network in remaining active. The aim is to educate parents and help them understand the challenges girls face in PE & sporting environments.
E-learning courses for teachers
Our Puberty CPD course.
An online introductory course (to be endorsed by CIMSPA) to coaching and training teenage girls so that teachers and coaches can work with changing female bodies to ensure resilience, health and happiness that lasts for life.
School resource pack
A comprehensive teacher resource pack that brings all of the elements and topics together.
Designed to be practical. From conversation starters, lesson ideas to a list of outcomes that guide you through changes, that will both establish and embed female considerations in your everyday culture in School Sport.
Talks to others in the School Community
Boys, teachers, pastoral team, support staff, pupils.
The wider the messaging and understanding in the community, the more likely girls will feel they truly belong in sport. Talks can be delivered in specific topic areas as stand-alone or as part of an activation event.
What we cover
Menstrual Cycle
Because it’s more than just a period. Learn how hormones affect us physically and emotionally, how our cycle can be a superpower, and how to manage troublesome symptoms.
Female Centric Nutrition
What does healthy nutrition for girls look like? Learn why is food the magic ingredient in health and happiness, what Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-s) is, and how to fuel to support training and performance.
Her Body at Work
Girls are far more likely to have a joint injury than boys during and after puberty. They’re also twice as likely to suffer a concussion. Learn why this is and how to reduce risks.
Pelvic Health
An overlooked epicentre of the female body, yet we don’t teach it. Why? Learn the pelvic floor – what’s normal and what’s not and how can we build pelvic health that’ll support her through life.
Breast Support
Four in five women are in the wrong-sized bra, yet it’s so important for breast health, comfort during exercise, and performance in sport. Design, sizing and optimal support – let’s learn bras and sportsbras.
Female Mindset
How do females process emotion, manage stress, derive confidence, build motivation – and why do girls and women make such good leaders? This is how we create female leaders and environments where she can thrive.
Coaching Girls
Why do girls drop out of sport during puberty and what are the barriers to participation? This is how we design clubs, environments and coaching to ensure females belong – and fulfil their potential.
The Well HQ are doing incredible things – they’re putting the research in the gaps in knowledge and resources in full view. The atmosphere was genuinely so positive and it really resonated with everyone who was there.
