• Give schools a range of practical ideas about ways that they can strengthen their PE programme and energise the school day

• Direct schools to the many supports and resources which are available to them, locally and nationally

A teacher from a local school that recently achieved the ASF will be invited to attend to share their ASF experience with attendees.
