  1. Considering PE & School Sport as a vehicle for whole school improvement

  2. The evidence • Time 2 Move - Cornwall Framework for PE & School Sport • Case studies • Time for reflection

  3. Mental Wellbeing “…physical activity was positively associated with better cognitive functioning. This was particularly the case for middle school pupils (aged 11-13) and younger pupils.”Sibley and Etnier (2003) “…physical activity is positively associated with good mental health, and other psychological benefits of regular physical activity include reduced stress, reduced anxiety and reduced depression. “Mutrie and Parfitt (1998) “…the relative risk of depressive symptoms for boys who did not play sport was 2.4 times higher than for those who did.”Tomson et al. (2003) “…participation in sport and physical activity is associated with enhanced mood and affect and is positively associated with children’s self-esteem.” Evidence on physical education and sport, DfE (2013)

  4. Behaviour “…school-based physical activity promotes better classroom behaviour and increased attention and concentration. In particular, research into physical activity at break-times has shown positive relationships on behaviour in class.” Evidence on physical education and sport, DfE (2013) “Physical activity has been linked to improved classroom behaviour across the whole school. Notable among the benefits are improved pro-social behaviour and peer relationships, with resulting reductions in disruptive classroom behaviour.”The link between pupil health and wellbeing and attainment, Public Health England (2014)

  5. Attainment “…the amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity pupils engaged with at age 11 had an effect on academic performance across English, maths and science at age 11, 13 and final GCSE exam results.” The link between pupil health and wellbeing and attainment, Public Health England (2014) “…disadvantaged children who take part in after school clubs during primary school have higher KS2 results than those who do not” “…organised physical activities and sports club attendance at age 11 was associated with both higher odds of high attainment in maths at KS2, and with better social, emotional and behavioural outcomes at age 11.” Out of school activities during primary school and KS2 attainment, UCL Institute of Education (2016)
