Initial research by Dr Andy Daly-Smith at Leeds Beckett University demonstrated that Tagtiv8 impacts positively on activity levels and academic performance. This research was awarded 5 stars from NESTA. Our Physically Active Learning (PAL) approaches also help close the gap for children who sometimes struggle in the classroom. Taking the learning outside really does work and play.

Since then, researchers from another university have been working incredibly hard behind the scenes to secure funding for further research into our programme. Leeds University School of Psychology have now appointed a full-time researcher to investigate how Tagtiv8 impacts on teachers as well as students. The longitudinal study will take place starts this summer - it will run over 12 months with 9 schools in Bradford, West Yorkshire. These are really exciting times - we will keep you posted with developments.
