Movement Foundations Ethos

We pride ourselves on providing quality wellbeing experiences for children and their educators. We are on a mission to deliver accessible positive movement experiences to children and young adults of all abilities in schools, colleges and alternative education settings to influence, inspire and educate people in supporting their own health and wellness, developing confidence, and celebrating difference. The classes, workshops and programmes provide opportunities to join together (across ages and abilities) in play, make new friends and practice self-care .

We provide Wellbeing workshops and programmes for schools and the wider community. This not-for-profit organisation supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Specifically:

Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages.

Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

OUR APPROACH

Sessions are suitable for all ages and abilities. We have a sepcial interest in facilitating our programmes in SEND settings. All participants can engage on a level which promotes wellbeing and enjoyment. We believe that all can develop and progress in their own unique way; by feeling safe and comfortable in the experience; gaining deeper understanding of the benefits of movement, play and being outside in nature; while encouraging them to explore other experiences outside of school and into adult life to support longterm wellbeing.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMES

New to WARMLEY PARK SCHOOL IN South Gloucestershire!

These after-school programmes are for parents and children together - seeking to experience, explore and play with the help of movement, music, play and time spent in nature. These therapeutic play sessions help boost understanding between parent/carer and their children, which provides much needed time for understanding and connection by having fun together with other families. Time spent playing together and with others who experience similar concerns at home can reduce overwhelm, help overcome disconnection from self and society and and reduce feelings of parental guilt. A range of activities will be facilitated and are intended to bring us closer to each other and foster more kindness to ourselves. If you need some 1-1 time with your child, we can faciliate this by minding their siblings in a safe and enjoyable environment.

We promote that the group support each other on their journey and help create kind non-judgemental community. Our intention is for the experience to get you all moving and playing after school so that you all go to bed feeling calm and ready for a good nights sleep!
