We know the challenge: delivering high-quality lessons, supporting diverse learners, and fitting everything into a packed timetable. PowerPoint lessons can only go so far — especially when the government recommends 60 minutes of daily physical activity for children.
That’s where Teach Active comes in. This curriculum-aligned resource helps you embed movement into English and Maths lessons, making learning more active, inclusive, and effective.
1. Inspires a Love of Maths and English
Not every child connects with Maths or English straight away. For some, these subjects can feel abstract or intimidating. Teach Active changes that by turning learning into movement-based activities. Pupils might be jumping between punctuation choices or solving maths problems in teams — and suddenly, they’re smiling, engaged, and confident. It’s a powerful way to help children enjoy learning and feel successful.
2. Proven to Raise Attainment
Enjoyment is important — but so is progress. Teach Active is backed by research and used by schools across the UK to boost attainment. The active approach helps pupils retain information, deepen understanding, and participate more fully. Whether you're supporting catch-up, preparing for SATs, or aiming to stretch high achievers, Teach Active offers practical tools that deliver results.
3. Makes the School Day More Active
Meeting the 30-minute daily activity target can be tough, especially when curriculum demands are high and time is short. Teach Active helps you embed movement into core subjects, turning English and Maths lessons into opportunities for physical activity. It’s a simple way to boost wellbeing, improve focus, and meet government guidelines — without needing extra time or space.
4. Perfect for Whole Class and Interventions
Teach Active is designed to be flexible. Whether you're teaching a whole class, running a small group intervention, or supporting SEND learners, the activities are easy to adapt. Teachers love how inclusive the resource is — helping every child access learning in a way that suits their needs and builds confidence.
5. Supports Any Curriculum or Scheme of Work
No need to change your planning or switch schemes. Teach Active complements what you already use — whether it’s White Rose, Power Maths, or a bespoke English curriculum. You can slot activities into your existing lessons, saving time while adding variety and impact.
