Fantastic uptake for The Daily Mile™ Day

Following a challenging start to the academic year the MSP team have been delighted to see schools using physical activity to support children’s physical and mental health as they return to the classroom.

To give a boost to schools’ efforts MSP coordinated a virtual The Daily Mile™ Day in collaboration with the network of School Games Organisers on the 7^th October, encouraging schools to share their experiences on Twitter using #DailyMileDay

Around 60 schools took part and based on an average of 260 pupils per primary school that’s a whopping 15,600 children who are estimated to have taken part.
