Active Schools Midlothian

Active Schools Midlothian is a joint initiative between Midlothian Council and sportscotland.

We offer school aged children and young people motivation and opportunities to adopt active, healthy lifestyles throughout their school years and into adulthood.

'More People, More Active, More Often'

• Support and develop a network of volunteers, coaches, young leaders, teachers and school staff who deliver extra curricular physical activity and sport
• Organise and manage extra curricular clubs based in schools: before school, at lunchtimes and after school
• Develop the coaching workforce by providing training and support to all volunteers and coaches
• Develop young leaders and coaches through our high school leadership programmes and links with further education
