Five:60

The aim of the scheme is to help to stem the rise in childhood obesity from reception to year 6 children by increasing levels of physical activity and encouraging children, parents and teachers to make the necessary lifestyle changes to become more active and promote the benfits of a well balanced diet.

The activites are led by an exercise and fitness specialist in curriculum time as part of the schools PHSE timetable. The specialist is supported by a teacher during each session who will assist in coaching and mentoring participants over a 12 week programme. The exercise and fitness specialist can then refer suitable participants to a special weekly after school Five:60 activity club which will help to signpost interested children and families to other mainstream physical activity sessions.

It is hoped that by the end of the 12 week programme all participants will be undertaking 60 minutes of physical activity a day and eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables.
