Active Tameside provides high quality physical education curriculum, inspiring all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities.
This provides opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness.
Little Bikers
A fundamental starting point for children’s cycling – balance bike sessions are aimed at children aged two and a half up to six years old.
Bikeability
Gives young people the skills and confidence to cycle on today’s challenging roads – cycling proficiency for the 21st century, designed to give pupils an understanding of cycling road rules in real time situations.
Active Tameside deliver the Swim Teachers Association (STA) School Swimming Academy programme to ensure the quality of learning and progression remain at the forefront of every swimming lesson.
Specifically designed for primary school aged pupils, STA’s programme meets National Curriculum requirements for strokes and distances, whilst also ensuring pupils develop water confidence, key lifesaving and water safety skills.
Active Tameside is a registered charity, which means our fundamental purpose is to deliver public benefit and address inequalities. In keeping with this, all our surplus revenue is reinvested into our services.
We deliver a wide range of leisure facility and community-based services that generate participation in physical activity and sport, to improve health and wellbeing, predominantly in the Tameside area but also with our partners across Greater Manchester.
