Summary

This is a whole-school study using co-design to inform tailored school-based interventions. Schools will be allocated either to a control or intervention group and KS2 pupils will be asked to wear a wrist-worn physical activity monitor for a total of 5-weeks. During this time the PI will be present in schools to collect notes regarding school practices and daily variation. In the control groups pupils will wear monitors for 5-weeks (blinded to data) and school practice will continue as normal; school staff will be asked not to make any changes within school. After these 5-weeks, schools' will receive a detailed report about pupils' physical activity, and a researcher will come in to discuss findings. In the intervention groups pupils will wear monitors for 2-weeks (blinded to data). After this time the PI will present staff with pupils' physical activity during a focus group in the form of user-friendly graphs and a summary report. Staff will be asked to reflect on school practices and co-design feasible and practical strategies to improve pupils' physical activity. These strategies will then be implemented over the following 3-weeks, with immediate physical activity feedback on the accompanying software application, which will be installed on school computers, and support from the PI. At the end of the 5th week, during another focus group, schools will be given a summary of the data and changes in pupils' physical activity. This is where staff can reflect on the project and highlight challenges or barriers, and strategies they believed to be successful. The researcher will not prescribe any changes, this will be at the initiation of the school and staff members.
