Physical activity can help children catch up on missed work
New research shows students and teachers report physical activity can improve pupils' mood, confidence and schoolwork. Physically active children report improvements in their schoolwork, behaviour and mental health, according to new research from Sheffield Hallam University.
The study, conducted on more than 60,000 students and 4,000 teachers, was part of our Secondary Teacher Training (STT) programme and surveyed their attitudes to work, physical and mental health.
This research shows that helping children and young people to get active during school can play a vital role in helping them catch up work missed during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, and in supporting their mental health.

Primary Mental Health Team Consultations and Parent Information Sessions
The Primary Mental Health Team is part of the Rise Service and gives general advice, guidance, consultation and group training for those who work with children, such as school-linked professionals or those in social care roles.
The Primary Mental Health Team helps children and young people who may be displaying signs of emotional distress and emerging mental health difficulties by working with those around the child, such as teachers in order to put in place plans to manage issues and stop them becoming more serious. The Primary Mental Teams also provide parent and carer consultation and information sessions.
