What is the Daily Mile?

The Daily Mile is an initiative to improve children’s wellbeing through 15 minutes of walking, running or wheeling each day. This can be done by anyone  - regardless of age, ability or personal circumstances; and anywhere – in the school playground or a local park. 

Half of primary schools in Sutton are participating in the Daily Mile with 47% of children in Sutton averaging 60 minutes of activity every day.

But we know we can do even more:

• see if your school is taking part.
• find out ways you can support the Daily Mile at home.
• encourage your child or your school to participate in the Daily Mile Art competition in Sutton.
