Reasons To Book A-life

At A-life we pride ourselves on delivering an exceptional service for every school we visit. Since we started in 2004, we have been dedicated to ensuring that our activities use the highest quality resources and teach the curriculum in a way that schools cannot do themselves.

Of the 1500+ schools we have visited, teachers often tell us they are amazed at the number and quality of our resources. We want to make sure you get excellent value for money by booking an experienced provider, whose workshops tick loads of curriculum objectives, engage all children and the day is enjoyed by all. Children mental and physical health is a key priority to every parent and teacher and the backbone of creating a thriving school and community.

Ticking all the right boxes?

A-life meets the requirement of the National Curriculum as we contribute towards ‘(preparing) pupils…for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life’ and to teach them ‘…the importance of physical activity and diet for a healthy lifestyle’
A-life will contribute towards Ofsted expectations that pupils will be offered a ‘broad and balanced curriculum that promotes their good behaviour and safety and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development’.
With safeguarding being a top priority of schools, A-life meets Ofsted’s advice to schools that the ‘teaching about safety and relationships as part of PSHE education contributes to how schools approach the safeguarding of pupils’.
The Government has set out healthy living as a priority, with financial input into local educational authorities and schools with the aim to ‘improve the quality of PE and sport’ in schools and to ‘reduce obesity’ amongst children.
