Early Childhood Adolescence Adulthood

Physically inactive children

£21bn cost to NHS

2 extra days a year missed from

school

likely to be active and twice as likely to be

obese

Lower attainment

The costs of Physical Inactivity

Public Health Context

• Fifth wave of public health where prevention is a focus rather than the cure.

• Health policy is focussed on emotional health and wellbeing starting at an early age.

• Physical activity is high on the agenda and how it can assist young people in making lifestyle choices.

• Healthy weight is about the understanding of healthy active lifestyles NOT about obesity.

Our Context

• OfSTED will now be inspecting PE, School Sport and Healthy Active Lifestyles

• £60m of investment for school sport from Dept. Health

• Using the impact of physical activity and school sport to raise standards with vulnerable groups

• Narrowing the achievement gap with pupil premium pupils

“School Sport Clubs are engaging less active young people in positive physical activity and changing fundamental health behaviours”

Change4Life Sports Clubs

• Physical activity levels drop between the ages of 7 and 9 in vulnerable children.

• Provision of PE and school sport for these children is often overlooked.

• School workforce is often challenged in trying to engage target groups in positive physical activity.

• Positive physical activity environments lead to lifelong participation where sustained involvement takes place (i.e. More than 20 weeks)

• Schools are in a unique position to inspire and engage children in a positive environment through school based activity clubs.

• Children will sustain participation where they have a sense of belonging and contribution.

Change4Life Sports Clubs - Rationale

• Attract less active young people in multi-sport and non-traditional school sport clubs.

• Build a network of Change4Life Sports Clubs on school sites designed and led by the school.

• Use the inspiration of Olympic and Paralympic values, self reporting and a strong brand.

• Respond to what young people want.• Develop a “sense of belonging” and establishes a

regular culture of attendance and participation.• Utilise the club environment to change behaviours

around key health areas.
