Our Healthy Workshops provide a brilliant hook for your health topic or Healthy Schools week, with our superb range of resources and activities that bring the curriculum to life for your pupils in a way that wouldn't be possible in the classroom. They are packed full of curriculum and fun! 

The hands-on, multi-sensory 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 16 years’ experience and expert coaches, we consistently receive outstanding feedback from staff and pupils who are excited and engaged throughout.
