Getting Active in School: Advice, Guidance and Training
Children aged 5-18 should be active for at least 30 minutes of their school day.
If you work or volunteer within an education setting, you may need ideas and support to help get young people more active – we’re here to help.
There are many ways to influence outcomes in your school using physical activity. We’ve helped schools across the county to positively impact attendance, behaviour, SEND provision and attainment.
With our dedicated, funded role, we’re ready to support you every step of the way. We can work with you to craft innovative solutions, provide valuable staff professional development, and guide you towards opportunities and funding sources. Everything we offer is tailor-made to suit the unique needs of your school.

The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey measures engagement and attitudes to sport and physical activity within children and young people.
Each term, a number of schools across Norfolk are chosen to participate in the Active Lives Survey, with a mix of years 1-11 invited to take part.
We can help you take part in the Children’s Active Lives Survey, earn rewards and influence local and national decisions around activity and education.
The Norfolk School Games is part of a national government initiative designed to inspire children and young people to enjoy being physically active for life.
At Active Norfolk, we work with the School Games Organisers (SGOs) to get more local schools and children involved.
Find out more about the Norfolk School Games and how your school can get involved.
