Welcome to Prestonpans Active Schools

Our aim is to offer school-aged children opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity, while promoting active, healthy lifestyles throughout their school years and into adulthood. 

We achieve this with the support of a network of volunteers, coaches, parents, carers and teachers who deliver extra-curricular sport and physical activity before and after school, during break and lunch times, and across the wider community.

We're always looking for volunteers to help us bring more sport and activity to the local area. To learn more about volunteering with Active Schools, please email ssands@elcschool.org.uk

 Active Schools activities are FREE to ALL

FREE Access to Active East Lothian PAID Activities

Active East Lothian activities have a fee but are free to pupils who are
care experienced, young carers, and/or registered for free school meals with East Lothian Council. 

All support is delivered confidentially.

For more information, please see the information in your free school meals registration pack or contact Stewart Sands, Active Schools Coordinator at ssands@elcschool.org.uk

Support

We aim to make all of our activities inclusive to all and understand that everyone has differing needs and requirements. We will try to make reasonable adjustments where possible and will always be open to engaging with pupils and parents/carers to ensure this happens.

In our booking form we will ask you a few questions to share any information that will help us provide any additional support.
