Active Schools Report: 2021-2022

Across each academic year, the Active Schools Network of managers and coordinators gather information on the activities which they have supported in schools. This data is used to support the planning and delivery of the Active Schools programme.

At the end of each academic year, this information is collated into a report, which summarises the activity across Scotland.

In the 2021/22 academic year, 218,000 participants made 3.5 million visits to Active Schools activities.

12,500 deliverers (88% of whom are voluntary) delivered 178,000 sessions. See full report below for further details.

2021-22 data reflects the return to activity following the COVID-19 pandemic.  As extra-curricular sport and physical activity return there is a recognition that recovery has been challenging and is at different stages across the country.
