ConnectedPE 2017

In order to tackle the children’s health crises we see today (not just with obesity, but also mental health and the strains of modern life) and enable children to truly thrive and flourish, a long-term, sustainable approach is required. How can we tackle these issues whilst supporting every child’s journey of physically literacy and health literacy? Is a ‘joined up’ approach, across your school, needed?

Delegates will start this session by completing a ‘Health Check’ for their own teaching/their school. This will determine how health and wellbeing (movement, nutrition, lifestyle and mindset) can be integrated into both PE, and the whole school setting. Using practical examples, delegates will begin to formulate a ‘Health Plan’ that will truly upgrade the health and wellbeing of their school, including collaboration with other schools, and leadership of new ideas within their own school. Delegates will leave with a realistic, achievable plan, which will make a true difference to the health and wellbeing of their students.
