74% of pupils said being active at school helps them learn, according to new research from @YouthSportTrust. Being active can make a huge difference to the lives of young people - giving them both confidence not just physically but also mentally.

Great new piece on sport and it’s positive impact on academic performance. Playing sport during school hours was more beneficial for academic performance compared to outside of school hours. #schoolsport #activestudents
