Physical Activity National Guidelines/Useful Information
The British Heart Foundation National Centre for Physical Activity and Health (BHFNC) produces FREE resources to help SSCOs, Teachers, FECSOs and other professionals promote physical activity and health among children and young people.
The Active Schools Pack for Primary Schools aims to establish physical activity at the heart of schools through providing case study examples and practical tips in those areas which are most relevant to schools with clear, easily achievable steps. There are 100 activity cards with simple practical ideas to improve physical activity levels across the school day as well as a colourful A1 poster with some simple activities to do as part of a ten minute activity break in the classroom. Please visit the BHFNC website for further information.
The following documents also provide information in accordance with national guidelines. Further guidance & information on the Physical Activity Theme is available on the National Healthy Schools website.
