Support for children at secondary school

Youth clubs and activities

Sport and activities  

Active Schools’ mission is to get more children and young people active more often. Being active improves your Health and Wellbeing.  

Active schools want to help you access active opportunities that support you to have fun, get active and spend time with other children and young people.  

You can find out more about activities in your school area by looking on their "Get Edinburgh Active" webpage.

If you are under 16 you will need an adult to support you to sign up and register for activities. If you can’t see any activities in your area you can also contact the Active Schools Co-ordinator for your school. The e-mail for your active school co-ordinator is at the bottom of your school’s section on the web pages.
