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.

Become a Sport in Her Shoes School
Join the Women’s Super League, England Netball, British Cycling, British Equestrian and other NGBs who have followed our world leading programme to position themselves as sports which take a female-centric approach to athlete health, wellbeing and performance.
We want the school sporting system to be one where girls can thrive, whether they choose to participate for enjoyment or high performance. Yet, girls’ experience of sport is hampered because female-specific physical, emotional, and social factors aren’t acknowledged and supported well enough. In our experience, educators, students, and parents are committed to supporting girls to fulfil their full potential in sport, however, the thought of broaching topics like periods, and menstrual cycle, sports bras, changing bodies, pelvic floors and girls’ emotions, can feel intimidating and uncomfortable, particularly in the context of PE and sport.
The Sport in Her Shoes Schools programme covers 8 pillars that we believe create the infrastructure of a female-centred approach to sport and physical activity. The programme includes staff development, teaching resources, student empowerment activities and parent engagement sessions.
Subscribing schools will become a ‘Sport in Her Shoes’ school, which certifies that you have worked with us to enact positive change in girl’s sport.

Additional services
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 others in the School Community
Boys, parents, 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.
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.
