How The Daily Mile began
• in February 2012 a school volunteer said, ‘The children are not fit.’
• the PE teacher confirmed this
• I took a Year 5 class out to see if they could run round the school field - most couldn’t
• the children saw the problem for themselves
• together we agreed that they would try running round the field for 15 minutes every day to see what would happen
• but no-one saw what was coming next ……..

After 4 weeks….....
• all children were clearly much fitter
• they showed improved mood, focus and behaviour
• in the 15 minutes almost all were running 5 laps or more
• so they measured the path and 5 laps equalled 1 mile
• the daily 15 minutes was called The Daily Mile
• the children and staff loved it - and so did the parents
• children parents and staff wanted other classes to do it
• by June 2012 the whole school was taking part
• and in the autumn, the nursery class

How The Daily Mile removes the barriers to participation in physical activity
• no kit needed, therefore:
no cool / uncool kit
no forgetting or losing kit
no time wasted changing
no body image issues, or revealing your body
• there is no sense of failure
• no equipment, no set up, no tidy up and no warm up
• weather is a benefit, not a barrier
• risk is easily managed
![Page 18: How The Daily Mile began - Local Government Association Going... · 2017. 3. 23. · How The Daily Mile began • in February 2012 a school volunteer said, ZThe children are not fit](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061002/60b0ddcbff602855a877e007/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHY IT WORKS FOR SCHOOLS AND NURSERIES
• it’s completely simple to implement and it’s totally free
• the time to implement it comes from the HWB curriculum
• positive impact on focus, self esteem and behaviour
• it helps schools to raise attainment for all children
• the HWB benefits extend to teachers and other staff
• overwhelming support from parents
• it works best if teachers choose when to go out
• no staff training is needed

WHY PARENTS ARE SUPPORTIVE
• parents know that regular exercise, such as running for 15 minutes a day, is good for their children
• they see the improvement in their children’s health
• children are fit to engage in family life beyond school and can encourage their own family to be more active
• it helps to close the gap - no costs, no need to buy kit, pay for classes or transport their children

• every child need not run a mile - they do what they can
• encouragement to run or jog as much as possible
• ideally the path will be about 5-12 laps
• the route should be wide enough for 3 or 4 children
• don’t over-complicate it
• simple, child-pleasing measurement works well
• it should be free to implement
• it’s every child, every day - participation is for all
