The Active Schools initiative in Ireland promotes physical activity and wellbeing as a central part of school life. It encourages schools to get children moving throughout the day, not just during PE lessons, helping to build healthy habits for life. Through fun, inclusive activities, Active Schools supports pupils’ physical, social, and emotional development. 

As we headed into our first week of Active Schools, our 5th and 6th children showed great leadership and led all children through a variety of exercises.
