Criteria 7 - Health Related Activity

This criteria aims to help encourage schools to increase the levels of participation in health related activity across the whole school community with the aim of improving health and increasing potential. Whilst raising awareness of the benefits of regular physical activity on general health.

The School will need to provide the minimum statutory curriculum requirements for PE. And in support of this the school offers all pupils whatever their age or ability a minimum of two hours of physical activity a week within and beyond the national curriculum. This includes the promotion of extra-curricular activities involving physical activity.

There needs to be liaison with external agencies that are engaging in initiatives which seek to increase the level of participation of members of the whole school community. As they may be in a position to support the schools.

Involvement of parents in the policy, planning and support of pupils to increase their participation in health related activity is encouraged by the school. And they may be included in the efforts required to work towards appropriate nationally recognised awards for physical activity that the school will be required to participate in to achieve this criteria.

The school actively promotes whole school involvement, including parents and carers and staff, in health related activities.

That there is an inclusive approach to physical activity that encourages the less motivated to engage.
