Why This Course Matters

Many children enter school with motor competency challenges due to limited physical activity, increased screen time, or prolonged use of prams and car seats. These issues can impact their confidence, coordination, and engagement in physical activities.

A Solution to Long NHS Wait Times

With therapy service waiting lists stretching up to four years, early intervention is critical. Our vision is to introduce nationwide motor competency screening in schools, allowing for timely identification and support.

Why Movement Screening?

We already assess phonics and numeracy—why not movement? Physical development is just as essential, and our programme fills this crucial gap.
