Schools

Active Essex is committed to optimising the levels of Physical Activity and Physical Literacy among school pupils across Greater Essex. On this page is support and guidance to enable schools to deliver an effective Physical Education and School Sport offer. Children and young people spend a high proportion of their lives within education settings. It is essential therefore that, with your support, schools embrace and embed physical activity as part of a child centred approach to learning and development. Developing active, friendly, environments, offering a variety of opportunities for movement throughout the school day, and encouraging walking and cycling from home to school will all contribute to high activity levels.
