Information for schools

Thank you for participating in the Active for Life Year 5 study. You are one of 60 schools in Bristol & North Somerset taking part in this exciting project to find out whether the ‘Active for Life Year 5’ programme can increase Year 5 children’s activity levels and fruit and vegetable consumption, and spend less time being sedentary. Currently over 2000 pupils are taking part in the study.
