There are approximately 680 Active Schools Coordinators in Scotland, and their goal is to coordinate the engagement of children in an active lifestyle – anything from hill-walking to rugby to aerobics to dance classes.
The deployment of Active Schools Coordinators varies accross Scotland. This flexible staffing approach allows local authorities to tailor their staffing network to best deliver their needs. For example:- some Coordinators will work full time and cover a cluster of primary schools or perhaps a number of primary and a secondary school. Others will work part-time and cover one or two secondary schools.
