The 5x60 programme at Ysgol Clywedog aims to increase the number of Secondary age pupils taking part in sport or physical activity for 60 minutes, at least five times a week.

The programme is managed by local authority 5x60 officers, who are based in the school. They work with local stakeholders to create opportunities that meet the needs and choices of the pupils. Officers involve parents, students, and local coaches and sports club personnel in developing activities.

The 5x60 programme complements existing sport and Physical Education (PE) provision in Ysgol Clywedog by offering a range of activities to all children regardless of ability.  A key principle is that the pupils chose the activities themselves.  Activities include:

Ø      competitive sport;
Ø      informal recreational activity (such as dance, aerobics etc);
Ø      coached activities; and
Ø      outdoor activities.

The programme gives young people opportunities to gain leadership skills and lead activities in Ysgol Clywedog.
