Movement Snax.
Delivering Purposeful Movement.
Movement Snax delivers targeted, health- and exercise-based interventions using purposeful movement to support emotional regulation, mental wellbeing, behaviour, and inclusion for all learners.
Our sessions build strength, confidence, and resilience — creating safe, engaging opportunities for physical activity that meet pupils wherever they are.
By combining functional movement, relational support, and structured routines, we help schools deliver consistent, fundable provision that boosts pupil wellbeing and readiness to learn.
Movement is Medicine.
Health is Wealth.
Movement matters because it’s the foundation of a healthy, vibrant life — and not just through traditional fitness routines. Conventional workouts can feel repetitive, isolating, or overly performance-focused, which often leads to disengagement, especially for young learners.
That’s why Movement Snax embraces primal play — natural, instinctive movement patterns like crawling, jumping, climbing, and balancing that reconnect us with how our bodies were designed to move. This playful, varied approach builds strength, mobility, and resilience while reducing injury risk and improving posture and joint health.
Beyond the physical benefits, movement is a powerful mental reset: it releases endorphins, lowers stress, boosts mood, and sharpens focus. It breaks up sedentary habits with joyful activity that fuels energy and productivity.
Whatever form your Movement Snax takes, it connects mind and body — reminding us all that staying active through purposeful, playful movement is key to feeling good, thinking clearly, and living fully.
Movement is Restorative.
Student wellbeing is not an add-on — it’s central to academic success and thriving school communities. When pupils feel physically and emotionally supported, they attend more, engage deeper, and perform better. Wellbeing sparks focus, creativity, resilience, and positive behaviour for every learner, no matter their background or ability.
Poor wellbeing, on the other hand, often leads to low attendance, emotional dysregulation, and behavioural challenges — all of which disrupt learning and place additional pressure on staff and systems.
Movement Snax offers a proactive, inclusive solution for every pupil.
Our short, high-impact movement sessions help learners of all abilities release stress, regulate emotions, and reset focus through enjoyable, accessible activities. Movement Snax creates moments of calm, connection, and confidence — exactly when children need it most.
By weaving purposeful movement into the school day, we support mental and physical health while building essential soft skills like teamwork, communication, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and perseverance. These form the foundation not only for readiness to learn, but readiness for life.
The Foundations of Our Movement Curriculum
The Connection Curriculum is built around three core aims: to reduce the sedentary nature of school life, reconnect young people with their instinct to move and play, and use physical activity as a powerful tool for mental and emotional wellbeing.
Through short, purposeful sessions, we help pupils build physical confidence, regulate their emotions, and re-engage with learning — one movement at a time.
Built on three foundational pillars:
1. Reignite the Human Drive to Move
Why it matters:
Children aren’t built to sit still for hours — we’ve inherited a biological blueprint that craves movement, exploration, and play. When schools suppress these instincts, pupils become disengaged, dysregulated, and disconnected from learning.
Target: Reawaken pupils’ natural, playful movement instincts to improve engagement, joy, and connection.
2. Disrupt Sedentary School Culture
Why it matters:
The average school child sits for over 9 hours a day — a figure strongly linked to poor posture, sluggish brain function, and long-term health issues. Movement improves blood flow to the brain, lifts energy, and boosts executive function and memory.
Target: Combat the sitting epidemic by embedding purposeful movement throughout the school day.
3. Movement as Medicine for Mental Health & Behaviour
Why it matters:
Purposeful physical activity reduces cortisol, boosts dopamine and serotonin, and builds the resilience needed to cope with stress and challenge. It also creates a safe outlet for emotional expression — particularly important for children who struggle to verbalise their feelings.
Target: Leverage movement to regulate emotions, reduce behavioural incidents, and support whole-child wellbeing.
