Why it matters
1 in 6 children aged 5–11 experience a diagnosable mental-health issue.
Anxiety, low mood, and poor concentration are becoming increasingly common in schools — and physical inactivity and screen time are major factors.
By introducing children to movement-based wellbeing early, we can help them:
- Boost confidence and mood
- Improve focus and resilience
- Build lifelong healthy habits
The Happy Movement gives schools a practical, joyful way to make a real difference.

Parents support the workshop
Public Health England and NHS statistics show that active children have higher self-confidence, lower anxiety, and improved self-esteem, with 79% of children reporting greater happiness after being active and 72% feeling more confident.
