Always Active

With #NSSW2025 in full swing, we’ve encouraged every school to use National School Sports Week 2025 as a moment to trial a new approach – whether that’s offering one day of active uniform as part of the week or consulting pupils and parents about what their school uniform could look like in future.

Are you ready to help children move, play and learn more freely? Join the movement and sign the Always Active Uniform Alliance pledge today, a coalition we’re proud to co-found alongside OPAL, Play England, Play Scotland, the Centre for Young Lives and Learning through Landscapes.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on education, wellbeing and the future of our children.
