The
Golden Mile is an incredibly simple walking, jogging and running initiative,
designed by health and fitness professionals, to help children of all ages
and all abilities become fit and active in the safe and familiar environment
of their own school grounds.
By encouraging children to sustain a healthy lifestyle throughout their
school years, the simple approach allows it to sit alongside and beneath
all other fitness schemes within schools and endeavours to alleviate the
growing childhood obesity crisis.
Working directly in line with the National Curriculum, this award based
scheme fits neatly
within physical activity sessions throughout the whole
of the academic year.
Designed in such a way that children can exercise with their friends in
both a competitive and non-competitive environment, the focus is both on
fun and self-achievement, allowing every child the opportunity to shine.
Introducing Golden Steps
An exciting new initiative designed to sit alongside and support the Golden
Mile. Following successful pilots, it is due to be launched nationwide
within schools in September 2007.
