Implementing a Daily Mile programme at your school - Warrick Laverick (Stokeswood Primary School)
Back in February 2012 the Headteacher of St Ninians Primary School was concerned about the lack of fitness displayed by the children and founded The Daily Mile. The Daily Mile has a simple aim – to help children get fit by running or walking for 15 minutes a day in school or nursery. The Daily Mile began with a one month trial and overnight the results were startling. Attention levels and behaviour in class improved and parents said that their children are fitter, more active and alert.
