Community

Did you know that young people should take part in an average of 60 minutes of physical activity every day? It is expected that 30 minutes should be within the school day and the other 30 outside of this. Here are some ways you could achieve 30 active minutes outside of curriculum time:

• Active travel, such as walking to and from school
• Extra curricular clubs either before or after the school day
• Community clubs / activities in the community
• Walking for leisure, such as walking your dog
• Playing informal, non-structured games at home or in the park

To help support physical activity beyond the school gates, we offer community focused programmes to help young people achieve their 60 active minutes. Take a look at our Walk to School and Active Families programmes for more information.
