Dance 🕺🏻💃 like nobody’s watching… and they really did!
What an incredible day of dance 🪩 with 80 Year 3 & Year 4 students from 8 primary schools, led by the amazing dance leaders from Shirley High School Performing Arts College.
There was so much fun, learning, co-creation and teamwork throughout the day. It was fantastic to see the connection between primary and secondary students, and their shared passion and excitement for dance.
We also loved seeing both students and staff make the most of our Play. Chill. Heal. Warm-Up & Recovery Zone — promoting recovery, injury prevention, and physical & mental wellbeing.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to the Shirley High dance leaders and Performing Arts department for making it all happen 🙌
More dance festivals coming soon… stay tuned! 🎶✨

Following our Play. Chill. Heal. Activity & Recovery Sports Leadership Training before Easter, we were thrilled to deliver a fun-filled Multi-Skills & Recovery Festival 💫

50 amazing pupils from 5 different primary schools joined us for an unforgettable morning! 🌟 Our energetic 6- and 7-year-olds developed their fundamental movement skills of agility, balance, and coordination while also exploring the importance of both physical and mental rest and recovery 🧠💪

The energy was incredible—two hours of nonstop enthusiasm, joy, dedication, and perseverance! 🔥

A huge congratulations to our outstanding Sports Leaders 👏 Your performance truly made the event special.
Thank you to all the schools for attending, and a massive shoutout to Park Hill Junior School for hosting 🏫
We can’t wait to bring you more recovery-focused events soon… watch this space! 👀✨

When young people are given a voice and the chance to co-design and co-deliver, something amazing happens… they don’t just take part — they take ownership. 💥

Education becomes more engaging, more inclusive, and way more meaningful — all while building confidence and real-life skills. 🙌

As part of our Play. Chill. Heal. project, we trained a fantastic group of pupils at Park Hill Junior School as Activity & Recovery Sports Leaders. 🏃‍♂️💙

These incredible young people explored the power of rest and recovery, then got creative designing their own activities to support, inspire and educate younger pupils. 🌱

And WOW… what an explosion of ideas, creativity, teamwork and collaboration! 🎉

We are SO excited to see our leaders in action very soon— watch this space 👀✨
