My workshops can help increase your children’s motivation, confidence, and their mental agility but also an improvement in their energy levels throughout the day which will in turn keep them focused, resilient and generally happier. They are also designed to complement a range of topics across the school curriculum such as cultural diversity, RE as well as PHSE. The children start with a warm up, learn a routine from one of the signature programmes and finish with a cooldown. Vary from 30-60 mins of activity.
