Active Schools

Active Schools is a sportscotland (the national agency for sport) initiative.

Midlothian Council has a team of people (Active Schools Coordinators) who work with schools and within the community to offer children and young people opportunities to live more active lives.

• Our Active Schools Coordinators

This means that part of their job is to find coaches and volunteers who will run clubs during and after school as well as during school holidays.  They also work with local Sports Clubs and other Community Projects to try to get the children to continue in sport after they leave school.

• Volunteering with Active Schools
• Training courses 
• Sport and activity guides

We run a number of extra-curricular activities for schools, at lunchtimes, after school and during the holidays.

• Inter-school events
