These documents are applicable throughout the U.K. The background document clearly explains the aims and objectives of the Active School programme. The document also describes Active Schools’ key features, the benefits of physical activity for young people and recommended physical activity targets. The relevance of physical activity to the National Curricula throughout the U.K. is also discussed. The policy document clearly addresses the issue of developing a physical activity policy and development plan for a school.
