The fundamental aim of the Active Schools Network is to offer young people the opportunities and motivation to adopt active, healthy lifestyles, now and into adulthood.
Active Schools Coordinators work with schools to develop an infrastructure to recruit, support and sustain a network of volunteers. These include coaches, secondary pupils, family members and teachers who in turn deliver extra-curricular school sport and physical activity that is free of charge before school, lunchtimes and after school.
The priorities in Edinburgh are linked to the national priorities for Active Schools, which are:
- Provides high quality opportunities for all young people to take part in sport & physical activity before school, at lunchtime and after school.
- Develops, leads and supports effective pathways to connect schools, clubs and communities.
- Provides inclusive opportunities by using targeted approaches to remove barriers to participation.
- Develops a network of volunteers to deliver activity sessions.
- Develops and supports leadership opportunities for young people
