Adopt a whole school community approach to increase physical activity and movement levels of children and their families

 

How to achieve this:

 

Further Information:

Promote active travel

Active Travel (including Park and Stride) can complement other measures that schools have in place to manage a safe return to school. Encouraging students to walk, scoot and cycle can help reduce pressure on space as they arrive and leave. It also reduces congestion and air pollution at the school gate.

Cultivate a positive, active environment, both indoors and outdoors to encourage unstructured opportunities to be active

This principle is about the whole school environment, not just the PE department or play area.

Take into account:

- classrooms and corridors

- halls

- outdoor space (onsite - fixed and removeable resources)

- outdoor space (off site)
