The Daily Mile

What is The Daily Mile?

The Daily Mile is simple and free and gets children out of the classroom for fifteen minutes every day to run or jog, at their own pace, with their classmates, when the teacher chooses, making them fitter, healthier, and more able to concentrate in the classroom.

There’s no teacher training, set up, tidy up, or equipment required.

It’s fully inclusive; every child, whatever their circumstances, age or ability, succeeds at The Daily Mile!

We recently published a webinar all about the Daily Mile, and how to implement it, which you can access here.

Why should you implement The Daily Mile in your school?

Alongside our recently published Report, we have produced a one page infographic, highlighting the benefits and impact The Daily Mile has on schools and their pupils.

• It’s social, non-competitive and fun.
• Children report feeling calmer after completing The Daily Mile
• Promote positive attitudes to physical activity
• Helps to improve fitness and achieve a healthy weight.
• Improve concentration levels in class
• Promotes positive peer-to-peer and teacher-child relationship
