Environment
The school has the responsibility to provide safe, organised, and stimulating playgrounds for pupils to engage in physical activity. Where possible, equipment should be provided. Teachers should be educated in matters relating to physical activity, and pass on this information to the children. Communication is a key feature. Where possible safe routes for travelling to school by foot or bike should by provided. All benches should be removed from school playgrounds. When the weather permits, all children should play outside at break time.

Ethos
Important for the whole school to develop a positive attitude toward physical activity and HRE.
Everyone should have an equal opportunity to participate and experience success and achievement.
It is essential that all pupils be allowed to develop competence through physical activity.
The teachers should consider the needs of all pupils, and ensure there is no bias in the type of activities that pupils participate in.
Success should be recognised and rewarded.

School Curriculum
All pupils should have the opportunity to participate in at least 2 hours PE per week.
HRE should also be classroom based. This should be planned and well organised. Should ensure that pupils develop a sound knowledge of:

• Exercise benefits
• Nutritional Information
• What physical activity is (not just sport)
• Disease related to inactivity

PE should often be based on "Lifetime" activities, rather than just sports, which may leave children stood still for periods, or excluded because of ability.

Extra Curricular Activities
There should be a wide range of extra curricular activities available to all pupils, of all abilities.
Teachers should encourage participation in extra curricular activities.
Extra curricular activities should be easily accessible.
Schools should establish links with local clubs, to allow for talent development
Pupils should be fully aware of all extra curricular activities. This may be aided through the use of a notice (sport) board or announcements in assembly.
Cycling or walking to and from school should be strongly encouraged

Community Support
Links should be established with organisations in the community to encourage participation in physical activity. Includes:

• Sports Clubs
• Sports Colleges
• Universities
• Leisure Centres
• Professionals in sport and health

An active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) should co-ordinate the opportunity for participation in PA, drive toward new initiatives, and form links with the wider community. Physical activity should be a topic for discussion at all meetings. Attention should be paid to funding opportunities for the provision of physical activity.

Parents should support and encourage participation. Where possible they should provide financial, emotional, and social support.

School facilities should be made available for use by sports clubs and the wider community.
