1 in 4 children leaving primary school in the UK suffer from childhood obesity. Today’s primary school children are the first generation in history with a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

To start to overcome this, we are working with FUNDA to implement FUNDA’s Primary School Physical Education & Physical Activity Programme. This is a collaboration aimed at bringing the best teachers and physical activity coaches together to find new ways to encourage children to become more active, whilst up-skilling and supporting the continued professional development of teachers in P.E and physical activity.
