ILSE FULLARTON

My passion lies in educating children to make sense of 'health' in four key areas:

Movement

Nutrition

Lifestyle

Mindset

I have been a Primary teacher for 13 years following an undergraduate degree in Philosophy at the University of Essex, and a postgraduate cert. of education following that. I am a qualified Personal Trainer, and Nutrition Coach. I now offer consultancy work in schools around the UK, often in association with Active Essex. My interest in promoting the impact of Physical Education on a child's health and wellbeing led me to become a board member for the Association for Physical Education in the Eastern region of the UK.

Just recently, I started a social enterprise called The Children's Health Project. We offer an education programme in schools, community cohesion opportunities, and an exciting online platform that encourages collaborative learning in the realm of health, across the globe. I speak at events and promote the importance of Physical Literacy, and a love of learning about the body. My lifelong goal is to help children thrive, rather than survive, in our modern world.
