💬 “Active lessons make me feel happy because we get to go outside and have fun and refocus our brains.”

Pupils from Shorne Church of England Primary School share what it’s really like to be an Everyday Active School, where movement supports learning, wellbeing and confidence.

💬 “It helps me because when we do active stuff in Maths, it makes it really fun.”

Our FREE Everyday Active Schools programme supports primary schools to embed physical activity across the whole school day, helping to improve attendance, engagement and outcomes for pupils. If you’re a teacher, headteacher, governor or parent at a primary school in Kent or Medway, why not become an Everyday Active School and create a more active, engaged and positive learning environment?

💬 “If you just sit down all day and do nothing you might get bored but if you do some active things you may have much fun.”

🌟 Thank you to all the children who feature in our short film.

Last week, partners from across Medway came together for Place Partnerships 2-day Leadership Training. An opportunity to build confidence, clarity and connections to support system-wide change for physical activity.

During the two days, partners explored how to work differently, listening to communities and creating the conditions for people to be active in ways that matter to them. The training provided a valuable space to reflect, challenge thinking and strengthen relationships across organisations.

💬 “For me, the training means I can bring in MHS and bring the voice of our customers to the table and make sure that the Place programme is actually steered by the voices of our community.” Steven Pomeroy-Weihe, Customer Engagement Officer, MHS Homes

Sessions like this are key to strengthening collaboration and helping to shape a more joined-up, inclusive approach to physical activity. Huge thanks to our training facilitators, speakers and all the local partners who got involved.
