Introducing the Daily Mile

Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham's started the Daily Mile today.

Each class will aim to complete a mile on their non-PE days. The aim of taking part in the Daily Mile is to help improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our children – regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances.  It encourages children to be aware of their health and It's fully inclusive so that every child, whatever their circumstances, age or ability, succeeds at The Daily Mile. 

    Children run in their uniforms so no kit or changing time is needed.

    It’s social, non-competitive and fun.

   It takes place in 15 minutes, with most children averaging a mile, or more.

   Children run outside in the fresh air – the weather is a benefit, not a barrier.

    The children return to class ready to learn.

    It helps to improve fitness.

    It encourages children to be aware of their health.

The class that completes the most daily miles in the term will receive the daily mile trophy and a class prize.
