Healthy Movers Evaluation
In partnership with the Youth Sports Trust Healthy Movers Training was delivered to selected Primary Schools across the County to encourage young children and their families to become more physically active, have fun and learn to play!.
This was part of the wider ‘Diminishing Disadvantage’ project which was funded by the Department of Education. In total 37 schools were supported, 55 teachers trained , enabling 751 reception aged children to become more physically active by taking part in regular Healthy Movers sessions.
The project has been an overwhelming success with 93% of teachers reporting that their motivation and inspiration to improve children’s physical activity and play had increased. What’s more 80% of those schools are now working regularly with parents to promote the importance of Physical Activity. This is a really significant outcome as we know that it is vital that children have the opportunities to be active both in and out of schools and that parents are provided with the knowledge and confidence to do this.
