Active School Flag

What is an Active School?

The Active School Flag (ASF) is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. The process aims to get more schools, more active, more often.

Schools wishing to achieve the ASF begin the process by self-evaluating their current provision across 3 areas: Physical Education, Physical Activity and Partnerships. Schools must also organise an Active School Week programme and commit to having it as part of their annual school calendar. Schools that can say ‘yes’ to all of the ASF success criteria will be awarded with the active flag. The flag remains valid for a period of 3 years after which time schools will be invited to re-apply.

ASF is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland.

Physical Education

Physical Activity

Our school places a huge emphasis on physical activity and this is showcased through many of the events and activities that have been organised so far this year.

We incorporate physical activity into our school day through 'brain breaks' in between subjects, utilising our large playground space at break times, active walkway lessons and many more! Click on the links below to have a look at our pupils having fun while being physically active.
