About CAS

Creating Active Schools is an idea borne out of necessity.

When addressing the pandemic of our children's increasing levels of sedentary behaviour, the education system has been putting sticky plasters over the holes; hoping that intervention after intervention will solve the problem. Despite the best intentions of Government and schools, it hasn't.

It's clear that we need a different approach.

From the spark of an idea in 2018 to the unique school improvement tool you see here now, Creating Active Schools has been developed by sector experts and current practitioners to change perceptions and behaviours around physical activity in schools.

In a continuous cycle of improvement and refinement, CAS incorporates robust new research and uses insight from teachers and school leaders to increase and improve the physical activity offer in schools.
