Well the children and teachers of West Hill Primary School do it every day!

For 10 minutes each day every child from Year One to Six runs around the playground. It’s fast, fun and keeps you fit! But that’s not all. Studies show regular running has benefits for mental, social and emotional well-being. It can even improve focus and concentration in class!


Children at West Hill Primary run the Daily Mile

Now, Enable Leisure and Culture are getting involved. On Tuesday 6th November sport and physical activity officers from Enable brought Sky Sports presenter David Garrido to West Hill where they got to the see the children in action. They are making a video to help persuade other schools in Wandsworth to get running and see the positive benefits that West Hill have had.
