| Fit for Life is a practical, school-based programme aimed at improving the diet and physical activity level of children in Year 5 (9 -10 years old). The Fit for Life model is a whole class approach and as such fits well with Healthy Schools and Healthy Schools Plus where schools are encouraged to involve the whole school community in improving health behaviours. |
