A total of 96 schools from across Derbyshire and Notts have been selected by Sport England to complete the Active Lives Children and Young People Survey for the Summer 2026 term.
The survey is the biggest of its kind, gathering insight into young people’s activity levels, physical literacy, swimming proficiency, wellbeing, self-efficacy and levels of social trust.
Designed by Sport England, the Department for Education (DfE), the Department for Health (DfH), and the Department for Digital Culture Media and Sport (DCMS), its purpose is to gain a detailed insight into the current physical activity habits of the nation’s children and young people (5 to 16).
Schools which complete the survey receive a detailed, personalised report from IPSOS Mori, and vouchers to spend on PE equipment at ESPO. The teacher survey informs which Healthy School accreditation they receive this academic year.
Responses to the survey provide valuable insight to inform both the national picture and what support is needed locally.
