To stay healthy children need to do three types of physical activity each week: aerobic, muscle strengthening and bone strengthening activity. To maintain a basic level of health children between 5 and 19 need to do:
– At least 60 minutes of physical activity everyday, which should range between moderate-intesity activity, such as cycling and playground activities and vigorous-intensity activity, such as fast running and tennis.
Many vigorous-intensity activities can help you meet your weekly muscle and bone-strengthening requirements, such as running, skipping, gymnastics, martial arts and football.

The School Games
We are delighted to announce that we, Willington Primary School, have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2024/25 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
It works by keeping competitive sport at the heart of schools and providing more young people with the opportunity to compete and achieve their personal best.
A network of School Games Organisers (SGOs) and Local Organising Committees (LOCs) have worked alongside the Youth Sport Trust in delivering three distinct levels of competition since the Games’ inception in 2010 – ranging from intra – inter school activity, in addition to the National Finals, which is supported by National Governing Bodies.
This network currently services in excess of 20,000 registered schools who compete across School Games’ competitions.
The School Games consists of four unique types of competition:
- Intra-School Competition (Level 1)
- Local Inter-School Competition (Level 2)
- County Final (Level 3)
- School Games National Finals
