How Parents/Carers Can Help – PE

You can help your child by developing an interest in sports, physical activity and by encouraging your child to think about a healthy lifestyle. PE and physical activity have a huge impact on physical and mental health, and this should also be encouraged at home. Although children joining sports clubs is brilliant, children should also be encouraging to form a positive relationship with physical activity that they enjoy.

The government recommends that children have an hour of activity a day: 30 minutes in school and 30 minutes out of school. This means that being active out of school, such as how children travel to school, can make a huge impact.
