Move4Schools began as a collaboration between scientists, educators and movement specialists to explore the connections between movement, thinking and learning.
Based on the growing body of research linking body, brain and mind, we designed a pilot study with children in years 3, 5 and 7 at Notting Hill Prep school in London.
Teacher feedback was overwhelmingly positive and suggested that moving more in school enhances learning and wellbeing, increasing engagement and focus.
