Working Across Every School in Dundee
Dundee Active Schools works in partnership with all 41 primary, secondary and Additional Support Need (ASN) schools across the city to provide high-quality sport and physical activity opportunities for children and young people. Through close collaboration with school staff, volunteers, coaches, sports clubs and community organisations, we deliver a diverse programme of activities that reflects the needs and interests of our pupils.
By working directly with schools, we can create opportunities before school, during lunchtime and after school, ensuring young people have regular opportunities to be active, develop new skills and build positive connections within their school community. This partnership approach also helps us identify and support children and young people who may face barriers to participation, ensuring our programmes remain inclusive and accessible to all.
Why Join a School Club?
Participation in school clubs can help young people:
- Improve their physical and mental wellbeing
- Build confidence and self-esteem
- Develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills
- Make new friends and feel connected to their school community
- Discover new sports and activities they enjoy
- Progress into local sports clubs and community opportunities
Inclusive Opportunities for All
Active Schools is committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate. We work hard to remove barriers to involvement and provide activities that are accessible, inclusive and welcoming to all young people, regardless of ability, background or experience. Our clubs are free to access and are designed to support those who may be less likely to engage in sport and physical activity.
Pathways Beyond School
School Clubs are often the first step on a young person's sporting journey. Through our links with local sports clubs and community organisations, we help pupils continue their participation beyond school, creating opportunities for lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity.
