Elaine, the headteacher from the Stirling school St Ninian’s that made national news (external link) after they implemented the Daily Mile, is coming to Haringey to discuss how local schools can do the same.
The aim of the Daily Mile is to improve the physical, emotional and social health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age or personal circumstances. It is a simple but effective concept, which any school can implement. Its impact can be transformational – improving not only the children’s fitness, but also their concentration levels, mood, behaviour, resilience and general wellbeing. The Daily Mile is successful because it is simple, free and sustainable.
For those that have not heard about the Daily Mile, it is a physical activity initiative that is not just about exercise. It has numerous health and wellbeing benefits for children, whether they run, jog or walk. For videos and press articles about the Daily Mile, see the Daily Mile website (external link).
The workshop is FREE to attend for schools on Friday 23 September, 1pm at the PDC.
