Inspiring healthy changes on the lives of children, parents and the wider community.

Nearly a third of children between the age of 2 and 15 are classed as overweight or obese, this is higher than ever before. Reducing obesity levels will save many lives as obesity makes you twice as likely to die prematurely; not only will this make people live longer but it will also let them live a fuller life as obese people are also more likely to suffer from mental conditions such as depression.

As well as decreasing the quality of an individual’s life and increasing the chance of premature death, obesity also costs the country a fortune. In 2014/15 it was estimated that the NHS spent a staggering £5.1 billion on overweight and obesity-related-illness; this is more than the country does on the police, fire service and judicial system combined.

Here at Premier Transition we aim to inspire healthy changes that positively impact children, parents, teachers and the wider community.

Our bespoke fitness sessions test and motivate, allowing for different levels of success while providing an increased sense of achievement and satisfaction. Our beliefs are an important part of Premier Transition, and part of those beliefs are that children should not only learn and develop their health and well-being, but they should also have fun and enjoy themselves in the process.

Part of Premier Transition includes Fun-Trition, this is a cross-curriculum based programme for school children from KS1 through to KS2 that will not only teach food education, but help increase your school meal uptake, and engage parents in the health and wellbeing of their children.

Schools have now introduced Free School Meals, a School Food Plan, healthier developments to cookery/nutrition in the D&T curriculum and Ofsted inspectors are now monitoring and evaluating the whole school approach’ to healthy eating. As a result of this the demand and expectation for schools to deliver on health and well-being is becoming of much greater importance.

It’s not just children that we help here at Premier Transition; our Fit-Trition programme is aimed directly at parents and teachers. By working in collaboration with local schools, Fit-Trition offers busy parents everything they need – from fitness classes to attend after dropping off their children at school, to nutritional advice and motivational facts while also offering fitness sessions within the community.

Fit-Trition not only helps parents, but also helps teachers; due to the nature of the exercise sessions and the location, it provides the perfect opportunity for staff in schools to have their own group training sessions – not only does this improve their health and wellbeing, but it also sets a good example to the pupils and shows it is a healthy place to be.
