The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey
The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey is now in its third year. Sport England launched the school-based survey in September 2017 to measure engagement in, and attitudes to, sport and physical activity among children and young people in school Years 1-11. The Survey is being run by Sport England in partnership with the Department for Education (DfE), the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
This is the first research of its kind in the world and we're already using the detailed reports to target the most inactive groups within our schools.
Schools are chosen to participate at random, and within that school there will be three year groups selected. Your Active Partnership representative will provide the school with all the information they need. Once pupils have completed the surveys, the school is awarded credits which can be used to purchase sports equipment.
