Powerful video highlighting the importance of getting our young people to be active.

60 minutes a day is the national expectation.

England have now overtaken America with childhood obesity - by 0.1 % and this generation of children will be reducing their life expectancy by 5 years.

Someone said ‘if there was a pill that would reduce serious lifelong illnesses by 20% - would you take it? Yes? Well… it’s being active for an hour every day.

In Finland, for every hour the children learn – 15 minutes is physically active – resulting in a massive improvement on attainment.

Quick question – a study took place of 3 groups learning the same material in the day with a test at the end. One group sat down learning, one group sat but went for an hours walk and the other group stood to learn it all. Who performed best?

The standing up group!

Movement is Life - Dr William Bird.

Dr William Bird is a general practitioner in Reading fighting to promote exercise for healthy living.

Pre-pandemic, 47% of children were active for 60 minutes a day. Post-pandemic, 19% of children are active 60 minutes a day.

It is fundamental for our children that we create an Active School for our pupils. The Government have introduced the Well Schools Movement Plan – placing well being at the heart of school life.

This is what is needed:

•Everybody to get involved

•Attend events

•Active Break and Lunch

•Active PE lessons twice a week

•After school and lunch clubs

•Active Travel

•Active community/home

“Government are encouraging to practise physical activity as there are well established links between physical activity, improved mental well-being and educational attainment.”

It also improves memory and retrieval. “Maths and English lessons are the most inactive part of a school day” Ofsted

Little fact.
