Schools Programme

CrossFit Ickenham has designed a bespoke solution to provide schools with a National Curriculum Enrichment Programme to compliment the Physical Education curriculum. Not only does it support physical and mental health but it’s also a chance for students to develop their independence and team building skills within a wider community.

Each programme is aimed at Key Stage 3 and 4 students, providing fun, engaging sessions that will ignite and deepen a passion for fitness throughout adult life.

Our programme is designed by teachers. We know how to structure content that not only fulfils the National Curriculum Enrichment Programme but also enables every student to get the most out of every minute of the course.

The students will get introduced to CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, and Strongman, as sporting disciplines to develop an interest in health and fitness in adult life post school.

Techniques and skills are fundamental. Students learn a range of movements from gymnastics to Olympic weightlifting.
