The Daily Mile

13th Sep 2018

The Daily Mile is now underway in St Mary's as part of our Active Schools and Eco Schools programmes.

The Daily Mile is a very simple idea which was first started in Primary Schools in 2012 and is now fast becoming a worldwide initiative with over 5,000 schools now taking part.

The Daily Mile involves every child going out each day in the fresh air to walk, jog or run for 15 minutes, which is the time it takes most children to complete 1 mile.

The Daily Mile will not only improve children's fitness but it has also been proven to help children focus and concentrate in the classroom and of course it is FUN!

We are very excited about this new initiative and we are looking forward to the benefits it will bring to the children at St Mary's.
