134 schools across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough are signed up to The Daily Mile!

The Daily Mile is a national initiative, supporting schools to get children fit for life and fit for learning, by encouraging them to run or jog for 15 minutes every day in their primary schools and early years settings. This physical activity promotes social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing, as well as fitness.

The Daily Mile takes place outside, is flexible and simple to implement without the need to change clothing or use equipment. 

County Recognition Scheme

This scheme, introduced by Living Sport, recognises schools delivering The Daily Mile through its Core Principles. The Daily Mile Foundation has found that by following these core principles schools find it easier to sustain The Daily Mile long term and indeed integrate it into their daily school curriculum.  It is endorsed by both: Jyoti Atri, Director of Public Health and Jonathan Lewis, Director of Education, at Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council.  

• Schools delivering through the Core Principles will receive a specially designed fence banner
• Schools that have truly embedded The Daily Mile into everyday learning receive a quality assurance certificate signed by both Directors
