How do the pupils directly benefit?

The young people
- Taking part in lots of physical activities develops a child’s physical, cognitive, and social
skills, impacting positively on their health and wellbeing. These programmes can help make
a huge difference in starting them off and supporting them on their journey. Physical
Literacy is therefore as important as numeracy and literacy.
