EdStart Fitness

EdStart support schools by offering curriculum based PE provision and afterschool clubs as well as an innovative new health and fitness programme specifically targeted to suit young people. EdStart’s aim is to improve the skills of children in every area of PE and develop life-long positive attitudes to sport, physical activity and healthy living. EdStart’s approach is designed to make sessions fun and accessible to each individual child.

The EdStart Fitness App has 4 key features:

– Forms: Ability to record the fitness test results of each child undertaking the fitness programme.
– Reports: Ability to run reports on the overall improvements of each fitness test for each child, class, year and school.
– Resources: Session plans with a comprehensive suite of step-by-step videos enabling non specialist PE teachers to deliver the fitness programme effectively.
– Additional resources and worksheets used to educate children and families about the importance of leading healthy lifestyles based around; nutrition, sleep, exercise and suppleness.

Schools will be able to monitor the progress made by the PE department throughout the year and will be able to run a final report showing the improvements made by school as a whole as well as each class individually.

Data
The EdStart App will enable schools to record real time data based on the fitness of their pupils. This data will be useful in a variety of scenarios from identifying the ‘fittest’ schools to those that need more support. The data will also help PE teachers monitor the effectiveness of the activities being undertaken by the school.

Identifying extremely talented individuals as well as pupils who need to address their fitness levels from a much younger age will be made possible.
