The Active Schools+ team is here to support you to develop and embed best practice, effective provision and positive engagement with PE, sport, physical activity and play.
We have an overall aim to increase physically active opportunities for the young, helping to foster positive relationships with physical activity for life.
We have created a Participation Events Package for schools who value opportunities for their children to experience a variety of additional activities through their extra-curricular offer. Through this package, schools will have access to six Active Schools+ events over the course of the academic year, tailored to cater for a variety of year groups across the primary age-phase. The calendar always includes some existing favourites as well as some new and exciting activities, providing a range of events that will appeal to all children; encouraging the inactive to become active, supporting children with additional needs, providing opportunities for young people to build confidence and challenging the stereotype of activity.
In addition to our events package, our team offers a range of products and services on a pay as you go basis, giving you the flexibility to purchase the support you need, when you need it, at amazing value.
