Physical Wellbeing in Motion

Our Orchard Active wellbeing programme is a dynamic blend of movement, adventure, nutrition, teamwork and therapeutic activity such as yoga and meditation. 

For many young people, engaging the body is the first step to regulating the mind, building trust, and reconnecting with learning.

Physical Wellbeing Activities & Fitness

Encouraging growth, physical and mental strength through active movement, teamwork, and healthy habits — from fitness to food.

Our Flex & Flourish programme helps pupils discover their strengths through real-world tasks that build physical confidence and emotional resilience. This is learning in motion. Whether they’re mountain biking through woodland trails, paddleboarding across open water, playing team sports, hiking hilltops, or cooking a healthy lunch, students are given the space and support to grow stronger - physically, emotionally, and socially. Every activity is designed to build self-belief, resilience and a sense of achievement.

From structured physical routines to outward-bound adventures and daily excursions, Orchard Active helps young people feel capable, connected and confident in the world around them.
