Move More Education

The ambition is that all educational settings value, and benefit from the synergy between physical activity and learning . Ultimately, every learner in Sheffield should have the opportunity to enjoy activity in a way that supports their education, their social, emotional and physical development and their health. This includes all formal education settings from early years, through to Higher Education.

The group wishes to achieve this through uniting various providers and strategic groups working in this sector under one vision. The Move More Schools group oversee the strategic direction of physical activity programmes and initiatives across the Primary and Secondary education setting.

Join the Move More movement, helping activate primary and secondary school pupils across Sheffield, having a positive impact on their health and wellbeing, attainment, behaviour and academic achievement.
