At Nook Lane the health and physical wellbeing of all our children is one of our school priorities. The Department of Health advises that all children should participate in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.

This YSF poster Physical Activity for Children and Young People is available to download.

At Nook Lane our aim is to try and provide children with a wide range of opportunities for children to be as physically active as possible throughout the school day. Our goal is to ensure that the majority of our children are taking part in at least 30 minutes physical activity throughout the school day.

Please find below some of the things we are doing to increase the physical activity of the children at Nook Lane and our Physical Activity Policy.

Change4Life Clubs

We run a series of Change4Life clubs at Nook Lane throughout the academic year. These clubs are in addition to the wide range of sports related clubs we have on offer.

The Change4Life clubs are designed to target those children who have not taken part in school sport previously, who find it hard to get physically active or who just want to join in and have a go!

The aim for this academic year is to use the Change4Life clubs to ensure that as many children as possible at Nook Lane are engaging in some sort of extra-curricular physical activity on a regular basis.

Mile a Day Challenge

At the beginning of the 2017-18 academic year Nook Lane launched its own 'Mile-a-Day' challenge. The idea of this initiative is for each child to build up to running, jogging or brisk walking at least a mile every day.

Children are given breaks from learning to complete as many laps as they can of the playground and of course can take it upon themselves to complete some laps during playtimes!

To find out more about the 'Mile-a-Day' challenge and the benefits it has for both physical wellbeing and learning please visit: https://thedailymile.co.uk/

Active Playtimes

At Nook Lane we have tried to ensure that children are being as active at playtimes as possible. We have invested in new sports equipment which the children access on a rota throughout the week. Each year group also has a designated day to use the adventure playground and the football pitch.

Please find our playground timetable below:

Sports leaders' timetable

Our Sports Leaders are given the job of promoting school sports as well as delivering fun, sports activities during lunchtime. Through this role, they are given an opportunity to develop a sense of responsibility, enhance confidence and self-esteem, improve people management skills and, on top of this, develop some peer mentoring skills.

Each day, at least two sports leaders plan, set up and run a game for other children to enjoy.
