The Creating Active Schools framework has been evidenced in the prestigious International Journal of Behavioural Nutrition and Physical Activity that was published on Friday 7 February.

Thousands of children will benefit from more sports activities after school and in the school holidays through a £1.6 million funding boost to help schools make better use of their facilities.

Active Gloucestershire recently launched "Old Spot's European Trot" to all primary schools in the county, encouraging them to take part in The Daily Mile.
