The results of our latest research shows three-quarters of parents would support schools adopting an Always Active Uniform policy to encourage more active and healthier lifestyles for children. 🙌

With National School Sports Week 2025 fast approaching (16–22 June), this year’s theme is ‘Always Active’, and the Youth Sport Trust is urging schools across the UK to sign up and take part in a campaign designed to get children moving throughout the day.🏃‍♀️

What a brilliant game to start looking at the social and mental factors whilst having some end of term fun with my Higher class 🎉

S5 v S6... first to 11... best of 3 sets... VERY competitive! 👊

Thanks to @Mr_C_Scott for sending me the idea👏

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Tag! 🪨🗞️✂️

1⃣ Split the class into teams with a zone behind them.

2⃣ Each team steps forward and collectively performs a rock, paper or scissors pose.

3⃣ Can the winning team tag the losing team before they run back into their zone?

Give it a go! ⬇️

Human Catapults with 2nd grade today. Lie down, wait for a teammate to give you a ball, sit up and throw at the pins. Lots of great teamwork and a fun way to work on ab strength. #physed

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.
