Mission
Active learning across the curriculum
We created Tagtiv8 in 2012 because we love to learn but we hate sitting down for long periods of time. Sadly, many schools focus only on sedentary learning with subjects taught in boxes – we believe that this is not how we learn best.
Our mission is simple – to create educational resources and training that develop confidence in key areas of the curriculum through physical activity.
Let’s move and learn!
Our Journey
We taught in various UK schools for 25 years. However, we were becoming increasingly worried that certain agencies – driven by data – were putting undue pressure on teachers and learners through academic accountability and over-testing. Children were sitting down far too long – with English, Phonics and Mathematics the sole diet for many children.
There were simply not enough opportunities to move and learn. So Tagtiv8 set about creating ideas and games – with children and teachers – to redress the balance.
Research & Impact
You know you are onto a good thing when a teacher says, “This is amazing - I wish I had thought of it.” Or when children repeatedly ask, “Can we play again?”
Smiles and anecdotes are great, but when you have research that demonstrates impact, you don't need to take our word for it.
Get in touch
If you’d like to get in touch with us we’re always happy to chat. If you or the work you do is concerned with helping people lead healthier, happier lives then we’ll probably have plenty to talk about!
