About Health and Wellbeing

About

The health and wellbeing strand of Leicester City School Sport & Physical Network aims to engage children and young people in sport and physical activity through bespoke weekly programme delivery and city wide one off events addressing numerous challenges to leading a healthy and active life.

Aim

Our aim is to ensure that all children and young people take away what they have learnt with us to improve their health and wellbeing, and develop lifelong habits that have positive impacts as they move into adolescence and adulthood

We also work to improve health and wellbeing in all our Leicester City schools, educating and supporting staff to ensure the sustainability of health and wellbeing provisions continues beyond our programmes.

These programmes are aimed at different age groups and created for specific challenges and barriers highlighted within our cities children and young people. Please see below for more details.
