Sport England's Active Lives Children & Young People Survey carried out nationally throughout the school year by schools asks children between 5 and 16 about how much physical activity they take part in, both in and out of school. As well as measuring physical activity levels there are also measures for wellbeing, attitudes towards sport and physical activity and volunteering.
Findings are used to shape future policy and investment in school sport.

If your school is selected you will be contacted and, subject to completing a minimum number of surveys, you will receive a bespoke report on the findings plus equipment vouchers to the value of at least £100. Those schools who take part will also receive a Healthy Schools Rating providing they complete the minimum number of surveys including a teacher survey.
