As part of our work towards achieving both the Active Flag and the Amber Flag, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you about what each initiative involves and how we hope to promote them throughout the school year.

The Active Flag – Promoting Physical Activity 

What is the Active Flag?

The Active Flag is awarded to schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to developing physically educated and physically active school communities.

The programme places a strong emphasis on participation, inclusion and, most importantly, having fun! Our aim is to encourage all students to get involved in physical activity, try new sports and develop positive, healthy habits that they can carry with them beyond the school environment.

Throughout the year, we will be taking part in three active school initiatives, we have already completed ‘Around the EU’ where we walked 4,553km as a school, the next one starts in the new year, the Active Breaks Challenge.

The year will culminate in an Active Week which is the final initiative, featuring lots of fun, sports-related activities and challenges. We will finish the year with our annual Sports Day!
