Being active plays such a crucial role in mental health and overall wellbeing🧠 🏅 Our exciting partnership with The Sweaty Betty Foundation is empowering more girls to take part and compete in sports. The programme is expected to benefit 400 students this year. Girls at Ark’s four secondary schools in Birmingham have received 150 Sweaty Betty sports hijabs ensuring they feel comfortable and confident while participating in physical activities. #girlsinsport #joyofmovement #inclusivitymatters #childrensmentalhealthweek

Let’s get moving🎼🌟  Pupils at Ark Tindal Primary Academy were lucky enough to dance with Dame Darcey Bussell DBE today! Students had the opportunity to showcase their fantastic DDMIX dance routines through a variety of dance styles including the Charleston, ‘80s and African dance.  Through this unique partnership with DDMIX for Schools, Place2Be and Restore The Music, Tindal pupils are not only developing their dance skills but also gaining confidence, creativity, and a real sense of community. #DDMIX #DanceWithDarcey #GetMoving #WellbeingInSchools #Place2Be #RestoreTheMusic
