Active Lives Children and Young People’s Survey: Have your say
The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey is a survey taken in schools which 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.
By participating in the Children’s Active Lives Survey your school will:
- Be part of Sport England’s Active Lives Survey report showing the current activity levels for children and young people
- Receive an in-depth insight report enabling you to better plan and incorporate ‘pupil voice’ within your physical education lessons*
- Earn £100 worth of vouchers for sports equipment* (minimum response rate required)
- Get a national DofE Healthy Schools Rating*
- And, by taking part, you will help shape future regional decisions surrounding physical activity funding in your area.

The more responses your school collects, the greater the insight you will gain into how physical activity opportunities affect the outcomes for children and young people. This data will help you evaluate the effectiveness of these activities and make informed decisions to enhance their impact. For example, you might discover trends in student engagement, identify areas where additional resources are needed, or highlight successful programs that could be expanded.
Your school could receive an extra £10 per parent (one parent only) for yrs 1 & 2 pupils only.
Parent survey links can be found here.
Survey completion varies across different year groups. For instance, secondary schools can send the survey home as homework, while primary schools are encouraged to have pupils complete it in school due to varying levels of access to technology and support at home.
Completion times also differ. Sport England suggests that the survey takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. Some schools use IT lessons for this purpose, while others survey pupils in smaller groups.
Sport England have created a new guidance document to specifically support teachers of years 3 & 4. See pages 8-14 for guidance Active Lives – Children and Young People survey Year 1-6, KS 1-2, 2024-25.
