The Active School Flag [PPDS]

Published: 02 June 2009

The Active School Flag invites all schools to engage in a review process. This process involves creating an action plan to further the provision of PE, physical activity and sport in schools. There is no closing date. Schools contact the Active School Flag coordinator in Mayo Education Centre and specify when they are ready to be accredited. An active school accreditor will then visit the school to look for evidence that the action plan has been put in place.

The Active School Awards have been in existence for the past four years. During this time many schools have taken part and celebrated physical education, physical activity and sport provision within the wider school community. The Active School Awards have evolved every year to meet the changing needs and demands of schools. This year sees a move away from the competitive element of the Active School Awards to a more sustainable Active School Flag.
