Active Schools

Active Schools, funded by Sportscotland, works with local schools and sports clubs to give children and young people more opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity. We rely on the support of volunteers and young leaders to make this possible, helping pupils get involved and stay involved in sport. Through leadership pathways and community partnerships, Active Schools aims to build lifelong participation and strengthen links between schools and clubs.

 Gregor Ross, the Active Schools Coordinator for Highland Perthshire, works closely with the HWB Faculty, school staff, senior pupils and local sports clubs to bring as many fun and inclusive extracurricular sporting opportunities as possible to our pupils. This work depends on the incredible efforts of volunteers – and we’d love to welcome more! If you’re passionate about helping young people stay active, volunteering just 30–60 minutes a week for 4–6 weeks can make a big difference.
