Premier Sport has pledged £150,000 of physical activity and sport specific coaching to 1,000 primary schools with the aim of engaging over 200,000 children of all abilities, from Foundation Stage to Key Stage 2.
Our pledge, part of the government’s Public Health Responsibility Deal, means that the first schools to apply to Premier Sport will receive a Health and Physical Activity evaluation (HPA) day worth £150 completely free of charge.*
The Public Health Responsibility Deal is an initiative designed by the Department of Health to tackle obesity and inactivity. Organisations that sign up to support the scheme commit to taking action voluntarily to improve public health.
Fred Turok, Chairman of the Responsibility Deal Physical Activity Network, said:
“Premier Sport’s commitment to the Responsibility Deal will have a real impact in inspiring and getting children at primary schools more active.
“It's vital we reach children as early as possible to help them appreciate the fun and benefits of being active, which they will hopefully carry with them throughout their lives. What strengthens this pledge is the work the Premier Sport advisors do to develop a plan with teachers, helping leave a real legacy for the school and future pupils.”
The evaluation includes a full day of physical activity & school sport of your choice. The aim of the day is to analyse your school needs to ensure your pupils are getting the most out of their PE and physical activity provision.
