About Active Schools
This service will transfer from Live Borders to us on 1 October 2024.
Active Schools is a sportscotland led programme designed to encourage children and young people to get active. sportscotland works in partnership with our team to encourage more children in the Borders to take part in physical activity and sport.
We aim to provide more and higher quality opportunities for pupils to get active before school, during lunchtimes and after school. We also look to develop effective pathways between schools and sports clubs in the local community.
Active Schools has worked with schools for over 10 years providing opportunities for children and young people to get involved, and stay involved, in sport and will continue to make a significant contribution to a world class sporting system in Scotland.
