Our approach
In 2014, working in collaboration with Ark Bentworth, Ark Conway launched the Sports, Health and Fitness Curriculum. Our innovative approach has attracted a great deal of attention from sports and health professionals and is an area where we are striving for cutting edge practise to raise the levels of fitness, participation and engagement in sporting activity. Rising Stars have now published our curriculum for other schools to use.
