Offer choice and variety

Offer choice and variety – offering a variety of physical activity opportunities for young people to take part in, including free play can increase participation in physical activity. In addition, a focus on games and fun, as well as the more traditional sports or competitive activities, can help to encourage participation, particularly among inactive pupils.

How to achieve this:

Provide a range of extra-curricular physical activity programmes, clubs, societies and teams, across all year groups and to suit individual needs
Attend the Cornwall School Games
Promote Time2Move holiday activity clubs
Offer a wide variety of physical activity/movement within school, ensure inclusivity, body positivity and accessibility for all
