Andy Pope, the overseer of the survey, expressed his satisfaction with the remarkable response from schools, with over 2,600 of them participating within a week. He emphasized that this abundance of data would enable SAM to collaborate with partners and pinpoint the most vital areas of recovery.
Thanks to the instant feedback, schools are now well-positioned to work with SAM and ensure maximum impact in the coming term.
This year’s national school sports week is scheduled to take place from June 19. To aid children in meeting the recommended minimum activity time of 60 minutes per day, the Youth Sports Trust and Sport England recently launched the Active Recovery Hub.
Ali Oliver, the chief executive of the Youth Sports Trust, stressed the urgent need for a focus on sport and activity as an essential part of young people’s recovery. She recognized the admirable efforts of many schools in promoting active recovery leading up to this year’s national school sports week. However, she emphasized that the attention to young people’s recovery should extend well beyond this term, making it crucial for schools to have funding certainty for next year.
In the long run, she advocated for a comprehensive national strategy to ensure that young people in the country are both happy and active, surpassing their counterparts globally.
This survey aligns with recent findings from Swim England, which highlight the impact of the pandemic on children’s swimming abilities. Approximately two million children have missed out on swimming opportunities in the past year, and an additional 250,000 children will be unable to swim 25 meters unaided.
