Welcome to Tranent Active Schools 2024/2025

Active Schools Tranent primary cluster offers a great variety of sport and physical activity opportunities for the primary children within Tranent and the surrounding areas 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 Ross High Rugby Football Club and Tranent Football 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.

We have developed a programme of sport that is fun, exciting and safe for all pupils within the Tranent Primary Cluster.  If you would like to look at what is available then please follow our Booking Live Page here for more information.  We have FREE and heavily subsidised clubs for everyone to attend.  

You can download a PDF copy of the most up to date programme at the foot of this web page.

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.
