Active School programme Derby County Community Trust, in partnership - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Active School programme

‘Derby County Community Trust, in partnership with Derby City Council has developed an evidenced based, active school programme, to support schools with delivering a whole school approach to physical activity.’ Arwen Green – Active Learning Officer

• How does a whole school approach to physical activity

contribute to the Obesity Strategy?

• How does the Active School Programme ‘support

healthier eating, physical activity and the shaping of healthy habits?’

• What the local picture looks like in Derby by sharing the

findings so far from the Active School Programme (6 schools and 2000 kids)

• What implications does this have for your school on

getting children more active?

In this session we will look at:

Why was the programme developed?

Detailed research has shown that today’s children are the least active in history and this generation of children is expected to die five years earlier than their parents.

From Designed to Move – Active Schools

PHYSICALLY INACTIVE CHILDREN ARE AT:

• Higher risk of obesity
• Have more missed school days
• Have lower academic

achievement

• Earn less as adults
• Have more sick days off work
• 2x as likely to be obese as

adults

• Die a premature death

ACTIVE CHILDREN DO BETTER IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY, INCLUDING:

• Performing better in

school

• Behaving better
• Increase attendance rate
• Increase levels of

concentration

• Improve life chances for

better physical, emotional and social

• utcomes in the future

Schools that integrate fun options for physical activity into the entire school day. That means before, during and after school Active schools tend to do the following things really well:

• INSPIRES 60 MINUTES OR MORE OF DAILY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Children move before, during and after school—to and from school, in classrooms and corridors, in the gym and on the playground. Bursts of 10+ minutes count towards the target.

• DELIVERS HIGH-QUALITY PHYSICAL EDUCATION Children are

taught regular physical education that is high-quality, inclusive, focused on physical literacy and likely to give them a positive experience.

• CREATES A CULTURE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR ALL Children are

surrounded by leaders, parents, staff and a community who support and invest in physical activity and sport as a way for children to succeed.

Whole school approach to physical activity

First year pilot, we’ve worked with 6 schools/2000 children across Derby to: Train teaching and non teaching staff, provide parent information sessions and assemblies for pupils Provide schools with data on pupils’ levels of physical activity, emotional health and wellbeing, weight and physical development Provide easy and fun ways to increase physical activity across the school day e.g. Daily Mile, Activate to concentrate, Take ten ‘every move counts’ Identify pupils within school that meet Livewell’s child weight management criteria and/or are inactive and target them to join the Master Cadet healthy living club Provide a pathway to Livewell’s Active Child Programme

What implications could this have for your school?

Decline in healthy weight by age range

Deprivation and healthy weight

There was a clear link between deprivation and a healthy weight when schools were ranked from lowest levels of healthy weight to highest:

• 54 % of pupils had a healthy weight in the most deprived area of

the city

• 77 % of pupils had a healthy weight in the least deprived area of

the city Why? When we looked at levels of activity over a 7 day period, children achieved double the number of hours of activity in the least deprived areas compared to the most deprived

Come and find us this morning if you want to find out more about the Active School Programme, Take Ten ‘every move counts’ or the Daily Mile Think about what you need to do as a school now to increase children’s level of activity and how you will demonstrate your contribution to preventing obesity by helping children to eat better and move more.
