A Daily Mile to get children moving

British children are among the least active in the world, with one in five obese when they start primary school. But, in 2012, one Scottish head teacher started a revolution that is spreading across British schools: The Daily Mile. Primary pupils are encouraged to run or jog for 15 minutes every morning. No kit is required. The scheme has been linked to improvements in fitness, self-esteem and well-being – as well as grades.
