Getting children active shouldn’t mean adding more to the school day

High-quality PE matters, but children spend most of their school week outside PE.

There are opportunities to move throughout the day - during lessons, between lessons, at breaktimes, through wellbeing activities, enrichment, and before or after school.

The challenge for schools is not usually understanding that children need to move. It’s making it happen consistently without adding more planning, workload or pressure for teachers.

See how imoves helps schools create simple opportunities to move across wider school day.

Why make your school more active?

Support focus and behaviour
Use movement to help children reset, change pace and return to classroom routines ready for what’s next.

Make learning more engaging
Bring movement into Maths, English, Science and other curriculum areas.

Support wellbeing
Give children opportunities to energise, regulate, relax and connect.

Broaden enrichment
Create more ways for children to enjoy being active through playtimes, clubs and wider school experiences.

Build positive experiences of movement
Help more children discover ways of being active that they enjoy.

An Active School isn’t about keeping children moving all day. It’s about using the right kind of movement, at the right moment, for the right reason.

Brilliant plans, resources and team!

Fantastic planning resources; adaptable to any setting. Flexible curriculum paths. Fantastic peripheral resources too, including the active blasts and subject specific dances e.g. Great Fire of London. Excellent communication and support from the imoves team.
