Health and Wellbeing School Apprentices
ABC worked with partners in Wolverhampton to explore opportunities to best utilise existing investment in the system, including the Apprenticeship Levy and Primary PE and Sport Premium, to develop a workforce that could be upskilled to deliver an increase in physical activity across the school day.

Active Lives CYP
Active Black Country have traditionally worked closely with PE leads and coordinators and have used these pathways to recruit schools which have been randomly selected to participate in the Active Lives Children’s Survey. This has proved successful with a continuous increase in the number of schools and resulting surveys completed each year. Schools electing not to participate in previous terms have provided ABC with a number of reasons, with the most common response from schools sighting insufficient time or capacity to conduct the survey with their pupils. This learning explores how ABC have evolved our approach.

Physical Literacy Consultation
Dudley CCG’s MeFestival is an annual event that welcomes young people from primary schools across the borough to receive advice and guidance on their health and wellbeing from a wide range of stakeholders. In 2019 Active Black Country were invited to be part of an activity tent, whereby pupils could take part in a series of inclusive activities such as boccia, Finnish skittles and table tennis. ABC also used the occasion as an opportunity to carry out some consultation with both the young people and teachers that attended to get a better understanding of their activity habits and levels of physical literacy.
