Olympic champion Darren Campbell MBE launches the Premier Sport ‘Inspire to Engage’ initiative to get more children active during the school holidays.

Darren Campbell MBE surprised pupils at an East London primary school to launch the Premier Sport ‘Inspire to Engage’ programme. The Olympic Champion held an exclusive training session at Sandringham Primary School in Newham and spoke to the pupils about the positive impact sport has made on his own life and the important role it can play in staying fit, healthy and happy.

Olympic gold medallist Duncan Goodhew MBE recently enthused four schools in Aldershot and Ash about the positive impact that sport and physical activity has made on his own life and the important role it can play in staying fit, healthy and happy.

During Duncan’s visit, pupils received an inspirational assembly about the gold medallist’s highs and lows during his ‘golden’ years.

Please take two minutes to read this inspiring endorsement from the PE Coordinator at St Marys and St Peter's school in Taunton, Somerset. They have been using The Golden Mile since September 2014 and the IMPACT has been massive!

“At St Marys and St Peter's we have only 40 children and have managed to amass over 750 Golden Miles as a school since September 2014. The children have fully embraced the Golden Mile and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been out EVERY morning taking the boys and girls for 15 minutes, first thing in the morning (9.00am-9.15am) and have seen great results. We have noticed a big difference in behaviour during class time and readiness to learn, especially as you will be surprised to hear in the boys.

We’re proud to support The Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code, the first accredited sun protection initiative designed for specifically for outdoor activity leaders. This spring they have launched a new and improved format which aims to help ‘Blow the Whistle on Sunburn!’

On Your Marks...

ukactive have launched a new strategy for children’s physical activity, underpinned by a new ukactive kids membership category and a policy report due to be launched in early June calling for a greater focus on children’s activity levels by the next government.

This move follows the merger between the Compass Association and ukactive and has led to the formulation of a new ukactive kids board which will oversee the strategic direction of the new membership category and ukactive's vision of a more active childhood.
