InnerPerformance is a targeted programme for KS2, KS3 and KS4 pupils who need support with emotional regulation, behaviour, confidence and engagement. The programme uses a therapeutic approach through sport, physical activity and structured play, combined with mentoring and reflection. Pupils develop skills in emotional regulation, resilience, communication, teamwork, confidence and personal responsibility. Children also use our online accountability system to track daily habits and development, allowing schools to monitor engagement and progress both in school and at home. The programme is designed to help pupils build positive routines, make better choices and develop skills that can be transferred into school, home and everyday life.
Pupils may be suitable for the InnerPerformance programme where they:
Are in KS2, KS3 or KS4.
Require additional support with emotional regulation, behaviour, confidence or engagement.
Are experiencing difficulties with motivation, attendance, relationships or personal responsibility. Would benefit from a small-group or targeted intervention.
Are able to participate safely in sport, physical activity and structured play.
May be at risk of disengagement, repeated behavioural incidents or exclusion.
Would benefit from developing positive routines, habits and coping strategies.
Have been identified by school staff as requiring support beyond universal provision.
Referrals can be made by schools, pastoral teams, safeguarding staff, SEND teams or other professionals involved in the pupil's support. Suitability will be discussed with the school before the programme begins to ensure the intervention meets the individual needs of the child.
Staff Experience
Our staff team brings a range of experience across education, care, sport and youth development. Some members of the team have worked within care homes and schools, including leadership and support roles, while others have professional backgrounds in sports coaching and physical activity. All InnerPerformance staff are trained to work with children and young people and understand the importance of building positive relationships, maintaining professional boundaries and using a therapeutic, child-centred approach. This combination of experience allows our team to use sport, play, mentoring and physical activity to create a safe, supportive and engaging environment where young people can develop emotionally, socially and personally.
Delivery Area
InnerPerformance currently delivers programmes across Coventry and the wider West Midlands, working in partnership with schools and organisations to provide targeted support for children and young people. Delivery can take place within school settings, community venues or suitable sports facilities, depending on the needs of the pupils and the school. We can provide individual, small-group and wider group sessions, using sport, play, mentoring and physical activity to support emotional regulation, behaviour, engagement and personal development.
Programme length
The InnerPerformance programme can be delivered as a short-term targeted intervention or a full-term programme, depending on the needs of the school and individual pupils.
A standard Tier 2 programme can run for 6–12 weeks, with weekly sessions combining sport, structured play, mentoring, emotional regulation and personal development. Pupils will also use the online accountability system throughout the programme to track daily habits and engagement, allowing progress to be monitored both in school and at home.
