Absolutely, Lewis! Given the recruitment and retention crisis and the fact that ‘almost three in ten secondary pupils are avoiding going to school because doing so would make them anxious’, the Well Schools movement is needed more now than ever. theguardian.com/society/2024/f…

The need for the Well Schools movement seems more crucial than ever when you read Denis Campbell’s report for The Guardian about Square Peg’s latest shocking findings in secondary schools.

Some forms of #exercise are just as good as therapy and even better than anti-depressants at treating depression, according to a new study. No surprise to people who believe in Well Schools. ⁦Chris Wright⁩ Kay Batkin⁩ ⁦Youth Sport Trust⁩ news.sky.com/story/exercise…

I once had the privilege of being the only primary practitioner on an Oak National Academy PE Panel alongside @Hanna_Miller_PE, Ali Oliver, Kate Thornton-Bousfield & Sue Wilkinson MBE. It was truly an honour to be among such an inspirational group of experts. Wishing you all the best in the future!

I was honoured to be asked to write a supporting document for this new Hartlepool Borough Council facility. HIGHLIGHT will hopefully be transformative for #health and #wellbeing in #Hartlepool. Gemma Ptak ActiveHartlepool Love Hartlepool Jonathan Brash MP Hartlepool Sport HartlepoolSGO

🌟 This Association for Physical Education appointment is truly inspirational! 🌟 Kate Thornton-Bousfield has had a tremendous impact on my career. Her dedication to the transformative potential of #PESSPA helped inspire the holistic approach of my PESSPA Programme, and her work has positively affected countless lives.

I completely agree with @Hanna_Miller_PE. The Association for Physical Education definitions - which have been around for over 5️⃣ years - are a great starting point: afpe.org.uk/news/624058/De… Hopefully all areas of #PESSPA will be a priority for our new government, including #PE as a NC subject area.

🔊 Keir Starmer has highlighted falling #PE provision. Given that #PE is the best-funded non-core primary NC subject, this is deeply disheartening. I’m sure Well Schools, Youth Sport Trust and Association for Physical Education will be advocating for this to radically improve. tes.com/magazine/news/…
