Championing Active Schools
Active Surrey advocate using PE, school sport and physical activity (PESSPA) to
improve pupil wellbeing and attainment.
We provide services and opportunities for all KS1-5 maintained, academy and
special schools. Our aim is to support teachers to use PESSPA to boost the
physical, emotional and social skills of those in their care and drive whole school
improvement.
We work closely with local partners (Surrey County Council and Surrey Outdoor
Learning Development (SOLD)) and national partners (Association for Physical
Education (afPE), Youth Sport Trust, Sport England, UK Coaching) to provide a
network of support, advice, training and resources.
How we can help?
Our 'Schools Wheel' summarises our services and more details can be found within

Child wellbeing
Children with good mental and physical health are more positive, engaged in school
and can achieve better academically. Research* has shown that one in eight
(12.8%) of 5-19 year olds now have a diagnosable mental health illness. As children
spend so much of their time in schools, teachers and support staff are in a prime
position to help children build strong mental health and wellbeing; physical activity
can play a key role in this.
Our child wellbeing offer is designed around primary aged children and includes
training options for staff, pupils, and parents.
With content tailored for each audience, these short courses focus on the
practicalities of wellbeing and show the part physical activity plays in improving
children's mental health. Schools or other organisations can choose any or all of the
courses independently of each other, according to need.
