Schools & Educators

Every young person arrives at school with different life experiences, needs and levels of confidence. For some, being active feels natural. For others, it can feel challenging or out of reach. The journey into movement often begins with a small spark of curiosity, and the right environment can help that spark grow.

We work alongside schools, partners and young people to co-design approaches that meet pupils where they are. Through shared learning, practical support and trusted relationships, we help schools create environments where all children can move, play and take part in ways that feel safe, achievable and enjoyable.

Our work is grounded in empathy, inclusion and evidence. Together, we support consistent and welcoming approaches across the school day that help pupils think, feel, move and connect. This enables being active to become a meaningful and positive part of everyday school life for all young people.

We work with schools across the full school day, before, during and after school, through the holidays and through targeted support.

 

How can we learn and improve?

The Active Lives Survey helps us understand how children in England get active, looking at activity levels, confidence, wellbeing and more. SASP supports Somerset schools that are randomly selected to take part.

Selected schools usually survey two or three classes and one teacher, whose responses help calculate the Healthy Schools Rating. Parents of pupils in Years 1 and 2 may also be asked to join in.

If your school is chosen, our team will contact you at the start of term to help you get set up. Contact Mark Templeton for more information.
