Message from Active Schools

Dear Parents and Carers,
We’re excited to share a new SWAY link that brings together information from a wide range of clubs and activity providers in your area. Whether you’re looking for something fun, active, or creative for your children—or even the whole family—there’s something for everyone!
Please take a moment to explore the SWAY and discover opportunities to get involved, stay active, and enjoy time together.
Best wishes,
Elizabeth F Anderson
