The EU-supported Active School Communities project, led by ISCA member BG Be Active and in which ISCA is a partner, has released a series of resources to help community sport organisations break the ice and work with schools on physical activity initiatives inside and outside the school setting.

All of the resources are available to download on SlideShare – the links are provided below.

Active School Communities Self-Assessment Tool

The self-assessment tool is for sports organisations to evaluate their capacities to work in schools to increase physical activity among young people. Working systematically through the questions in this tool will help organisations assess their current situations, decide on their priorities and set out a route map to reaching their goals. The self-assessment exercise should be led by senior members of a sports organisation who have responsibility for young people and community outreach.

Complete beginners will find the level of detail useful, while others may not require so much information but can use the toolkit to assess and improve their current practice.

Active School Communities Action Planning Toolkit

This Action Planning Toolkit will enable a shared understanding of goals and priorities between sports organisations and schools. The toolkit should be used during a conversation with relevant school staff such as heads of physical education or head teachers. It will help to align the priorities of the school and the sports organisation and give them a clear plan for success.
