They should take part in a variety of types and intensities of Physical Activity across the week to:

  • develop movement skills,
  • strengthen muscles and bones,
  • reduce the time spent sitting or lying down
  • break up long periods of not moving with some activity
  • spread activity throughout the day

The Good Life Project

Here at Belmont Community School we value both our wellbeing and that of the planet. The Good Life Project allows us to focus on improving both of these outcomes for our whole school community. The projects we are working on include a Bring and Buy sale aimed at decreasing waste, and a nature project which will improve the sustainability of our school environment and encourage wildlife.
