New resources are being rolled out to girls in secondary schools as part of a campaign to empower them to get their peers active.

The Department for Education has today published guidance for secondary schools to help progress their plans for summer schools. £200 million of funding will be distributed to secondary schools to support pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, whose education has suffered most during the pandemic.

As part of the Girls Active programmes run by the Youth Sport Trust, girls and boys in primary and secondary schools are asked to complete an online survey. The survey is distributed by teachers to pupils in their school. This report combines the data from all young people involved across two academic years 2017/18 and 2018/19.

This report summarises responses to the Girls Active Stepping Up for Change survey that girls and boys aged 7 to 11-years-old completed in the 2017-18 academic year. Overall, 5,454 responses were received across 122 schools (4,430 girls and 1,024 boys). This action research follows the Girls Active secondary school research released in 2017.
