It was a golden year for primary schools taking part in The Golden Mile initiative with over 28,000 children participating across the UK, completing 150,000 miles of physical activity. This is an astronomical achievement; in fact it’s the equivalent of walking over half way to the moon!

We like to reward achievement at The Golden Mile, that’s why we had the privilege of awarding over one million certificates to pupils achieving 5, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 150 miles of physical activity within the safety of the school grounds.

The Golden Mile is all about rewarding personal achievement and encouraging pupils to partake in daily physical activity.

We want to get all the way to the moon this school year, that’s why we need even more primary schools registering so even more children can access our unique physical activity fitness initiative.

The investment required to implement The Golden Mile in your school is on average £2 per pupil per year. That’s as little as 5% of your sport premium funding so your whole school can access The Golden Mile for one year.

The great thing about the initiative it’s completely measurable, meaning you can see how many miles each pupil and each class achieves. You can see class vs class comparisons and even challenge other schools in your area.

Schools record all Golden Miles achieved via our unique online portal which you gain access to upon registration. We’ll also let you know monthly how your school is achieving compared to others.

We know that wouldn’t be fair if you’re a smaller school, that’s why we’ve worked out the average number of Golden Miles achieved per pupil.

Here are the top 3 schools for July -

1. Garvestone Community Primary School, Norwich; 9.95 miles 
2. Breachwood Green Junior Mixed & Infants school, Hitchin; 6.31 miles
3. Breckon Hill Primary School, Middlesbrough; 5.88 miles
