Watching #ENGvNZ today gave a chance for reflection. 3yrs ago, in the @YorkshireCCC pavillion, 50 school practitioners, researchers and policy makers designed the @We_Are_CAS framework. We could never have dreamed how much impact @We_Are_CAS would have since conception.1/14



Creating Active Schools is a key workstream of the @JoinUsMovePlay programme and 36 schools in #Bradford are delivering the framework to embed physical activity in the school system. Click here to watch our inspiring film for more info 👉 bit.ly/3Luj9aJ #ActiveBradford

Always nice to visit @GMMoving a @We_Are_CAS national partners. Hearing impact of CAS on school stakeholder’s physical activity behaviours is fantastic. Here to share how schools are effectively using the whole school improvement tool to monitor & evaluate organisational change.
Congratulations @brainercise @AnnaChalkley and the rest of the team on a fantastic couple of days of sharing international learning around whole school approaches to physical activity. Lots to think about and follow up #wspa2024
Wow- what a way to close the #wspa2024 conference. A power panel discussion with @AnnaChalkley @karenmilton8 @JuanaWillumsen @NatalieLander1 talking about all whole-school physical activity. Superbly hosted by @itsrichwilliams @ISPAH @WHO @hepaeurope @TransformUsIPAN
NEW paper🧵 provides a more nuanced understanding of #PhysicallyActiveLearning #PAL and highlights the ambiguity associated with its theoretical foundation, particularly in practice

It was exciting sharing our physical activity journey with others at the #WSPA international conference. @HighCragsPLA @We_Are_CAS @JoinUsMovePlay
Insightful day at the #WSPA2024 Whole School PA conference exploring ways in which we can support the whole system to ensure schools and young people are active, healthy and happy! @YorkshireSport @We_Are_CAS great to hear from international and local examples of good practice 💪
Incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to present on how we can improve sustainment of physical activity interventions in schools at #WSPA2024 It was a real privilege to attend and connect with so many passionate researchers, practitioners and policymakers.
Our very own @karenmilton8 amongst a 🧠-rich panel of experts discussing the critical importance of #WSPA 💪

#WSPA2024 That was fantastic!! Congratulations to @brainercise @AnnaChalkley and the conference team! Such an insightful and inspiring few days - so much to think about! 🤯 Such a passionate and caring community, it was so lovely to meet you all and to present #pupilvoice
I have no doubt #WSPA2024 will be a catalyst for driving change in the UK by reducing health inequality, encouraging collaboration and co-creation of innovative solutions to creating scalable and sustainable physical activity practices. Thank you @brainercise & @AnnaChalkley

Thank you #WSPA2024 for giving me the opportunity to reflect on the last 3.5 years with today’s presentation of my research🧘♀️ and a big thanks to everyone that humbled me when I asked them to PAUSE… breathe & stretch 🧘♂️ 🙌
A brilliant few days at #WSPA2024 Now time for reflection and digest. My thinking in Whole-System Approaches, implementation science and behaviour change and their interaction has evolved. Next steps: how we can turn this into practice/further learning @SHU_PAWPH @movemoresheff
Well done to the @JoinUsMovePlay team who delivered an excellent workshop at #WSPA2024 on the subject of a whole system approach to physical activity for children and young people in #Bradford - evoking some great conversations during the Q&A session. #ActiveBradford
