Last week, Becky Gillick, our Active Communities Officer for King's Lynn & West Norfolk, and Rob Whalen visited Greenpark Academy, King's Lynn to present certificates and badges to our West Norfolk Moves Champions and Young Leaders 🏫 🏃♀️
More than 50 children from Key Stages 1 and 2 applied for the opportunity to become physical activity advocates for their year group.
In their new roles, the children will encourage their peers to be active and lead by example, with pupils in Years 4 and 5 also having the opportunity to co-design and lead lunchtime activities, helping to create active environments and more opportunities for movement across the school.
Congratulations to all our new West Norfolk Moves Champions and Young Leaders! 👏
