What is imoves

At imoves, we understand the unique challenges faced by primary school teachers. From the pressure to deliver all aspects of the curriculum to managing a bustling classroom, it can be overwhelming. That's where we come in.

As an award-winning platform, imoves takes the stress out of providing high-quality PE and physically active lessons. It's the complete online solution for busy teachers seeking straightforward, time-saving ways to infuse their curriculum with active learning.

What sets us apart is our team - a close-knit, passionate group with extensive experience in primary school PE, Dance, Gymnastics, Pilates, Active Learning, and Wellbeing. We've walked in teacher’s shoes, faced their challenges, and developed a platform to meet their real-world teaching needs.

Don't just take our word for it. Industry experts trust us - we're proud BETT Award winners, ERA finalists, and approved by the Professional Development Board for PE (AfPE) to deliver the National Curriculum.

With imoves, teachers won’t be juggling with multiple platforms. We provide everything you need in one simple-to-use online platform for everything to do with PE, active learning, and wellbeing, saving teachers precious time and making their lives easier.

Moreover, imoves offers features like CPD webinars, an activity review tool, roll-out workshop materials, and active assemblies, among others. It's not just about providing PE lessons; it's about incorporating movement and active learning techniques across the curriculum in a non-disruptive way.

Evidence

An independent evaluation by the National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine at Sheffield Hallam University underscored the effectiveness of imoves. The programme was found to have a positive impact on children's physical activity levels, well-being, behaviour, and even teacher confidence to teach active lessons.

Notably, imoves was especially impactful for the least active pupils, helping them reach the same activity levels as their more active peers. This aligns with the primary objective of ensuring that 'all' children are active.

Teachers and students alike found imoves to be fun, engaging, and conducive to learning. It created a positive teaching environment and made students excited about attending school. The Centre thus recommended that schools should utilise the imoves programme, given the clear evidence of its positive effects.
