The Schools Active planner was created and introduced in September 2017. Every school wishing to apply for their School Games Mark will need to register and use the active planner.

​

The Active Planner is an online resource designed by the Youth Sport Trust. The Planner produces a heat map for schools highlighting their level of activity across a specific group. The Planner aims to get schools thinking about a holitsic whole school approach to increased physical activity via,

​

​

​

​

- Active Travel

​

- Before Schools Clubs

​

- Active Class Rooms

​

- Break Times

​

- Lunch Times

​

- After School

​

 

 

To generate this map schools will need to do complete the following steps

 

1. select a specific group to work with eg Year 3 boys

 

2. input their school timetable for that group

 

3. allocate a one of colours activity levels  to each session of the day based on the level of activity 

​

 

When completed, this will produce a heat map like the one below. The programme will then generate a personal action plan and suggest various projects your school can undertake to help increase your inactive levels. This process can be repeated for as many different groups as you like.
