Schools Healthy Workshops

Our healthy workshops are packed full of curriculum and fun! The hands-on activities are accessible for all ages and abilities and have been carefully designed to meet and expand upon many objectives in the Science, PE and PSHE curriculum. With 14 years’ experience and expert coaches, we consistently receive outstanding feedback from staff and pupils alike. We bring the curriculum to life!
