‘Achieving 60 active minutes for every child’ Delivering 30 active minutes in school and influencing 30 active minutes beyond school every day
Course description: The local engagement event will support schools to increase physical activity throughout the school day to boost health and academic achievement for their students. It looks at how schools can:
1] meet the requirements of the government’s childhood obesity plan
2] develop their understanding of the evidence and research underpinning active approaches in schools
3] learn how to use the free Active School Planner to increase daily activity and reduce sitting time for every child
4] explore solutions to boost wellbeing and achievement by building 30 active minutes of physical activity into the whole school day and influencing 30 active minutes beyond the school day.
Outcomes: By the end of the workshop, delegates should be able to: • advocate why high levels of physical activity across the school day lead to healthier and more effective learners • reflect on how effective their current provision is at promoting physical activity throughout the school day • know how to reduce sedentary behaviour and embed physical activity in their school • plan their journey to becoming an Active School
The workshop will run from 4-5pm, delegates can arrive from 3.30pm for tea and coffee, networking and to contect their laptops to the wi-fi.
