The Daily Mile

What is the Daily Mile? 

The Daily Mile is a simple, free initiative that gets children active for around 15 minutes each day. Children can run, wheel or walk at their own pace, helping to support their physical health, wellbeing and readiness to learn.

Schools and settings signed up to The Daily Mile can access free resources and practical ideas to help make it enjoyable and inclusive for every child. Resources include ready-to-use assembly slides, teacher guidance, age-appropriate activities for children aged 3–11 and recommended books.

Watch the video to find out more about the resources available and how they can support your school.

At Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership, we encourage and support schools and early years settings across Hertfordshire to make The Daily Mile part of their everyday routine.
