Register for the National Schools Sport Week today and support your pupils and families to be healthier and happier
🚀 National School Sports Week 2025 is here – and it’s a BIG one! 🎉
This year, we celebrate 30 years of the Youth Sport Trust—three decades of championing PE, sport, and play to Build Brighter Futures for young people.
From 16-22 June, we’re inviting schools, families, organisations, and communities across the UK to come together for our biggest-ever National School Sports Week.
💡 Our mission? To embed an Always Active culture—ensuring that every child moves for at least 60 minutes a day (20 minutes for young people with SEND) through sport, play, and movement.
👕 Introducing the Always Active Uniform!
Did you know 67% of teachers + 74% of parents would support their school adopting an Always Active Uniform for Primary aged children (YouGov 2025). This year, we’re championing the Always Active Uniform—because the right kit removes barriers and empowers young people to move freely throughout the day.
🏫 For Schools:
🔹 Sign up to access FREE resources to help your students achieve 60 minutes a day of PE, sport and play
🔹 Host a Sports Day and be part of a UK-wide movement!
🔹 Be in with a chance to win a £250 Sports Directory Voucher and an Athlete Mentor visit!
🏡 For Families:
🔹Get involved by encouraging active travel, play, and movement at home!
🔹 Advocate for your child’s school to introduce an Always Active Uniform
🔹Be in with a chance to win a £250 Sports Direct Voucher
⚽ For Sports Clubs & Organisations:
🔹 Champion an active lifestyle within your organisation.
🔹 Support the Youth Sport Trust in advocating for life changing benefits of sport and play in young people’s lives.
