Structured Lunchtime Activity Provision

Better Active Oldham, has delivered lunchtime activity sessions in multiple schools in Oldham and surrounding areas,, with extremely positive feedback from both children and staff. These sessions provide a structured, engaging environment during lunch breaks, helping children stay active and focused. Schools report noticeable improvements in behaviour, as pupils are positively occupied rather than unstructured.
