In previous emails, we told you the 2013-14 academic year was ‘golden’ for primary schools taking part in the initiative, with over 28,000 children participating across the UK, completing 150,000 miles of physical activity.

We’re delighted to say there has been no let up with Golden Mile schools clocking up an impressive 5000 Golden Miles in September alone.

We’ve been officially backed by government, teachers, parents, participants, local authorities and celebrities. Check out our website to see a number of high profile endorsements for The Golden Mile.

The Golden Mile represents an excellent opportunity for children of all abilities to get fit and be active. The project is simple, effective and accessible to all schools, children and parents. It really is an innovative and interesting project that will be embraced by both children and schools.”

We received a number of glowing endorsements from schools last academic year. Mark Benton, Deputy Head Teacher at Four Oaks Primary School is the latest to support the initiative by saying:

"We officially launched the Golden Mile in an assembly on Monday 18th October 2010. We had been looking for quite a while for a way to improve the participation and fitness of all our pupils, whether they were sport mad or not, and the Golden Mile seemed to fit our needs exactly."

"As a school which takes the physical fitness and well-being of every single pupil very seriously Four oaks Primary would highly recommend the Golden Mile scheme to any school!"
