A SECONDARY school in Hull is to become the first in the UK to introduce a radical anti-obesity programme into its curriculum, which will see pupils undergo fitness training every day.
From January, students at Ashwell Academy will spend a total of three and a half hours per week doing some form of physical exercise – 75 per cent more than the national average.
The frequency of PE lessons will increase from weekly to daily activities, with pupils performing exercises such as squats, press-ups, lunges and burpees.
Pupils who buy school dinners will also be encouraged to plump for a healthier option that contains less fat, salt and additives in an attempt to tackle Britain’s £5.1billion epidemic.
