Hull Active Schools CIC
Hull Active Schools CIC provide a sustainable citywide structure for Physical Education, Physical Activity and School Sport that enriches the health and wellbeing of all young people in Hull regardless of age, ability, gender or background. We pay particular attention to how our competitive sport opportunities can align with personal development and how we can assist schools, through the power of sport, to achieve wider whole school priorities. Our events are tailored to equip students to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society; developing their understanding of fundamental British values through our sporting values; developing their understanding and appreciation of diversity; celebrating what we have in common and promoting respect.
We are the leading provider of competitive school sport opportunities in Hull and work with over 70 primary, secondary and special schools.
The School Games
Hull Active Schools manage and deliver the School Games offer across the city of Hull for 103 educational institutions. The School Games puts physical activity and competitive sport at the heart of schools and provides more young people with the opportunity to enjoy competing and achieve their personal best.
Traditional School Sport Associations
Maintaining the traditional school sport associations and competitive sport opportunities is the bed rock of what we do. Over 30,000 student attendances recorded during 2022/23 academic year through our extensive and varied school sport competition calendar for Secondary, Primary and Special Schools.
Community Collaboration
We’re only as good as our partners. At every opportunity we engage and work with local community sport clubs to establish positive school-community club links. Promoting a pathway from our events to further opportunities outside of school creates a culture of activity across the city.
Active School Environments
It all begins with an idea. Learning can be enhanced and improved when physically active. Growing evidence suggests brain function and pupil engagement within lessons improves leading to better concentration and learning. We’re committed to supporting schools in Hull to achieve the Active 60 ambition. Member schools have full access to the new Active Hub for resources and idea; Activity | Has Active Hub
We provide a wide range of staff development opportunities aligned to the needs of schools and educational landscape that result in a more physically active school environment. We offer centralised training workshops for school staff to develop the delivery of more Physically Active Learning and provide direct school support through our staff development partners, NGBs and the Youth Sport Trust.
We are also currently working closely with a number of schools in Hull to Pilot the Creating Active Schools framework.
Events & Campaigns
We advocate and fight for every child’s right to safely chose an active & sustainable method of transport to and from school. One way we do this is through the promotion and planning of national, regional and local campaigns to our schools. We have an active travel focus each half term ranging from Road Safety to the Sustrans Big Pedal and continue to support our schools embedding active travel campaigns / initiatives.
Sport Leadership
Our leadership academy starts in KS2 and runs right through a young persons education journey to KS5. We provider training, deployment opportunities and community exit-routes. We launched our primary school Activity Ambassador Scheme in 2022 which gives a framework for young people to develop their leadership skills. This includes many opportunities for young people to come and help deliver a variety of different sport competitions throughout the academic year to give them a real life experience of taking on the role of a sports coach, referee or umpire.
Change4Life Sport Clubs
Change4Life sports clubs are a specific style of extra-curricular club which targets the least active students in your school. It’s ethos and culture fosters a sense of belonging to increase young peoples motivation to become physically active. We can support your school embed this programme and reap the benefits.
