Encouraging children and young people to undertake more physical activity is becoming an increasingly important priority for schools. In the summer of 2007, Gordon Brown, said; ‘We need to put school sport back where it belongs, playing a central role in the school day’ – and the National Healthy Schools Programme is an initiative which aims to do just this.
The National Healthy Schools Programme is a joint Department of Health (DH) and Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) initiative which provides a broad framework for schools to support their children and young people to develop healthy lifestyles. Improving participation in physical activity is a major emphasis within the programme.
