Hampshire RISE Up: An Introduction to Trauma-Informed PE for Primary School Educators
Workshop provider: Neil Moggan
Formerly Director of Sport, Health, and RSHE at an inner-city school, Neil witnessed firsthand the stark inequalities young people face, including a 13-year life expectancy gap depending on which side of the main road outside his school they were born on. This inspired his trauma-informed RISE Up programme, which uses movement and self-care wellbeing toolboxes to foster safety, belonging, and brighter futures for young people.
This session provides educators with an introduction to trauma-informed physical education, focusing on creating safe and inclusive environments that support children's mental wellbeing and holistic development. Key components include movement-based strategies to promote safety and belonging. Attendees will leave with practical tools such as the RISE acronym—Repeaters, Inclusive Teams, Stress Busters, and Energisers—to help children manage emotions and reconnect with joy through physical activity.
Using evidence-based practices, the session demonstrates how to design activities that foster regulation and build trusting relationships. Delegates will explore the impact of trauma on young people and how PE can play a pivotal role in healing and growth within a safe and supportive environment. As part of the session, delegates will also have the opportunity to access the Hampshire RISE Up programme, designed to provide further support and resources for implementing trauma-informed practices in their schools.
Neil Moggan is the author of Time to RISE Up - Supporting Students' Mental Health in Schools, an international conference speaker, and the founding director of Future Action, an organisation empowering educators in over 200 schools around the world to transform children’s mental wellbeing and life chances.

Delivering Effective Outdoor and Adventurous Activities (OAA) with Cross-Curricular Outdoor Learning
During this workshop, Enrich Education will provide practical examples of how schools can deliver effective outdoor and adventurous activities (OAA) as a part of their PE curriculum. OfSTED’s recent report on PE – “Levelling the playing field: the physical education subject report” found that ‘”outdoor and adventurous activities (OAA) are either not taught effectively or not taught at all.” They also found that “staff lacked competence and confidence” to teach this part of the PE curriculum. We will provide examples and resources that will help with improving this area of PE in your school and explore ways in which you can support colleagues to be more comfortable in delivering OAA. The session will also look at creative ways to achieve active minutes of physical activity per day in school for all young people. We will provide practical examples of how cross-curricular outdoor learning can help all young people to be more physically active, while also supporting effective learning across the whole curriculum.
Enrich Education is the only education partner of ‘The International Orienteering Federation’ (IOF), a British Orienteering Recognised Delivery Partner, a Youth Sport Trust Changemaker Business, an Association for Physical Education Business Associate and the winner of “Best Primary Resource Award’ at the 2023 Education Resources Awards.
