Pilot study by Youth Sport Trust shows body confidence & attitude to PE boosted.
Alison Oliver, Managing Director of the Youth Sport Trust, has warned that schools are risk putting girls off PE and sport for life if they don't give them a voice in how the subject should be delivered, It comes as the Youth Sport Trust reveals the findings of Girls Active - a one-year pilot programme that gave girls more say on how PE and sport should be delivered in schools to make it more appealing.
The pilot aimed to tackle the negative attitude that girls have towards their body image, improve their attitude towards PE, and to work with schools to make sport more relevant to girls' lives. The results of the 12-month pilot have been released during the Youth Sport Trust's flagship National School Sport Week (23-27 June), with thousands of young people across the country taking part in more sport to celebrate the week.
