The Golden Mile is a perfect ALL inclusive initiative designed to engage even the most disengaged pupils to easily increase participation rates for your school, including virtual intra & inter competition.

Following the primary PE and sport funding, The Golden Mile is used by schools to provide impact measurements and to demonstrate the funding is spent effectively...

• Gets EVERY pupil active – pupils can walk, jog or run a personalised Golden Mile track within the safety of the school grounds.
• Simplicity is the key – schools choose when they want to participate in The Golden Mile. Some schools allow pupils to come in before the day begins and clock up some miles with parents, others use it as structured play during break/lunch time and some even use it as a regular PE lesson or after school club.
• In any weather - flexibility is what schools love about The Golden Mile. Schools choose to run The Golden Mile in the sports hall, on the playground or on the school field.

The investment required to implement the Golden Mile in schools is on average £2 per pupil per year. To ensure long term sustainability Schools can fundraise to pay for the initiative year after year by simply holding a fundraiser during the school year and asking each pupil to raise £2. All fundraising forms and guidance are downloadable from the schools homepage.
