Supporting children to enjoy movement through simple activities linked to some of this summer’s biggest sporting moments. 

This summer, we’re bringing together a number of exciting sporting moments to help schools celebrate movement in simple, inclusive ways. 

Through The Daily Mile Summer of Sport, schools will have access to short assemblies and easy classroom activities designed to inspire children to move, take part and feel good. 

You don’t need to join in with everything. Just choose what works best for your school or what you can easily weave into plans you already have. 

All resources are free and designed to fit easily into a busy summer term.
