A SCOTTISH school’s attempt to increase the fitness of its pupils has grown into a global movement reaching four million children as far away as Mongolia and Togo.
Schools in 90 countries worldwide have signed up to the Daily Mile, with Scotland last year becoming the first Daily Mile Nation after the Scottish Government formally backed the initiative.
Its success has amazed Elaine Wyllie MBE, who set the scheme in motion 10 years ago when she was headteacher of St Ninian’s Primary in Stirling and became concerned at her pupils’ lack of fitness.
