About

Active Schools is a joint initiative between City of Edinburgh Council and sportscotland as part of the Healthy Living Campaign. This is part of a national initiative identified as a key element of the Scottish Executive's drive to get more people in Scotland active; a commitment outlined in the National Physical Activity Strategy. The Active Schools Edinburgh team consists of 2 managers, 16 primary, 23 secondary and 2 SEN co-ordinators. All primary and secondary schools in Edinburgh have a co-ordinator assigned to their school who have gone through physical activity and health induction training in conjunction with NHS Lothian. These co-ordinators are responsible for working in partnership to increase the range of quality opportunities for pupils to become physically active.
