3 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Executive Summary The Active Schools Partnership Agreement sets out the national objectives of the Active Schools Network for and how these objectives will be implemented in LA. The Partnership Agreement will form the basis for sportscotland s Active Schools Investment in LA and incorporates an agreed staffing allocation and investment profile specific to the local authority. The Partnership Agreement has been developed by sportscotland to shape and inform each local authority s Active Schools Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan will be developed in partnership between LA and sportscotland. LA will be responsible for the implementation of the Annual Action Plan. The local authority Active Schools Annual Action Plan will drive and inform Active Schools Joint Cluster Plans. It is our expectation that each cluster will work together across primary and secondary to create one joint Cluster Plan. Golf Beth aged 12
