Promoting the physical health and wellbeing of students is a fundamental responsibility for schools.

To support this goal, we have identified three key recommendations centred around increasing physical activity. Each recommendation is supported by comprehensive links and resources, providing practical guidance for effective implementation. By embracing these initiatives, schools can foster an environment that encourages lifelong habits of physical fitness and wellbeing.

Underpinning all these principles are that schools should adopt a whole school approach to increase levels of physical activity and children should be physically active for at least 60 minutes a day, it’s suggested that 30 minutes of this be in schools.
