Children’s Active Lives Survey

Active Lives Children and Young People’s Survey: Have your say

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. Schools who take part will receive a report of their findings and £100 worth of sports equipment.

Sport England produces an annual report showing the results of the Active Lives Children and Young People’s survey using the data collected. This provides useful insight into the current levels of physical activity across the country, as well as in Norfolk.

By taking part, you could help shape future decisions surrounding physical activity in schools. You can find out whether your child’s school has been chosen to participate this term below.

What are the latest Children’s Active Lives Survey results?

The latest survey figures were released in December 2023. Here are the main takeaways:

  • Children and young people’s overall activity levels are stable as the initial recovery from the pandemic was maintained across the 2022-23 academic year.
  • This means 47% of children (3.5 million) have been taking part in an average of 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity a day.
  • Significant inequalities remain in activity levels, with Black (40%) and Asian (40%) children and young people, and those from the least affluent families (44%), still less likely to play sport or be physically active than the average across all ethnicities and affluence groups
  • Girls (44%) are less likely to be active than boys (51%).
