Musselburgh Primaries Active Schools

Musselburgh Active Schools offers a great variety of sport and physical activity opportunities for the primary children within Musselburgh to take part in. This has varied over the years from football, badminton, tennis, hockey, karate, rugby, multisports, cheerleading, gymnastics and much more. We encourage our pupils to try as many of our activities as possible. As not only is it a great way to meet new friends, it is also beneficial in promoting positive mental and physical wellbeing - and not to mention the many health benefits that comes with taking part in sport! 

With the excellent partnerships and links we have with local clubs through the Community Sports Hub, such as Musselburgh Rugby Football Club and Musselburgh Tennis Club. We work hard to ensure that pupils have the opportunity to continue their involvement and development in their chosen sports & physical activities beyond school and into adulthood where they can enjoy a lifelong participation in sport.

Reducing Finance as a Barrier to Sport & Physical Activity

Cost should never stop your child participating in sport and physical activity. If you are worried or concerned about your ability to cover the cost related to any activity your child would like to take part in, please contact Jade Hall using details above. Any assistance will be provided sensitively and confidentially so that it is not obvious to other individuals that your child is receiving this support.

Active Schools Future Leaders

The Active Schools Future Leaders Programme aims to teach leadership skills to Young People across East Lothian and build the foundations of a leadership pathway through school and beyond. Your Active Schools Coordinator will be your mentor and support you throughout your leadership journey. The Programme is designed to develop transferable skills for young leaders and enable other children to be more active and participate in a variety of fun games and activities.

The Future Leaders Booklet at the foot of this page provides a basic framework for the Future Leaders Programme, however there is flexibility for each young person to adapt and tailor the journey with their Active Schools Coordinator as required. We hope to tailor opportunities for children from Primary 4, throughout their time at primary and secondary school and beyond. For more information please contact the Active Schools Co-ordinator listed above. East Lothian Active Schools is jointly funded by East Lothian Council and sportscotland
