As the school year draws to a close, we've got a clear answer to one big question: How active were children during their school day? With hundreds of thousands of data points and real-time insights, Moki’s live UK dashboard and Moki League leaderboard are showing us where movement is thriving and where there’s room to grow.
Nationwide Reach Meets Live Insight
-
998 primary schools, representing 69,544 pupils, have used Moki Bands to track daily movement.
-
Over the most recent 30 school days, thousands of children actively shared live data, painting a vibrant picture of school-day activity.
That data reveals:
-
A national average of 6,301 steps per pupil, per day
-
An impressive 26 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity (MVPA)
This real-time benchmark arms schools, trusts, and local authorities with actionable insight, not just anecdote. They can now measure, compare, and improve movement culture in real time.
Spotlight on Gender: A Gap That Matters
The data also highlights a significant gender split:
-
Boys average 7,446 steps per day
-
Girls average 6,024 steps per day
That’s a 1,422-step daily gap - an opportunity for schools to take targeted action and promote inclusive physical activity for all.
🏆 Celebrating Success: Moki League Leaders
Not all schools are the same - and some are excelling. The Moki League showcases standout schools based on their average daily movement over the last 30 days. This friendly competition highlights schools leading the way in embedding movement into everyday school life.
Though the full leaderboard is visible on our site, standout performers regularly include schools achieving consistently high active minutes and step counts, proving that with commitment, culture shifts are possible.
