Our Programme

Most schools approach mental health reactively responding to crisis, managing behaviour, referring to services that have waiting lists measured in months.

iMatta JR does something different.

We give schools a proactive, preventative programme that teaches children emotional literacy before things get hard. Lesson by lesson. Unit by unit. Year by year.

By the time a child faces something difficult, and every child will, they already have the language, the self-awareness, and the tools to navigate it and ask for help.

That is the iMatta JR difference.

Staff Guides and Lesson Plans

Everything teachers need to deliver each lesson with confidence. Every session includes a full Ofsted-aligned lesson plan, SEND alternatives, EAL support, and a short 2-minute video guide, making the programme simple, structured, and ready to use with no specialist training required.

Children Guides and Workbooks

Children are introduced to each lesson through a short video guide, followed by clear, child-friendly slides that explain the day’s topic. Pupils then complete guided activities in their workbooks to reflect, practise, and apply what they have learned.  

Parent Portal and
Guides 

Parents and carers can access a simple overview of each lesson, with key information, conversation starters, and practical support linked to the day’s topic. Coming soon: a growing library of wellbeing resources covering a wide range of topics for families to explore at home.
