New
Forest School Sport Partnership
The Governments’ long term vision is to both increase the amount and quality of PE and Sport in schools and colleges. The delivery of the PESSCL strategy continues but a new focus is on the ‘PE and Sport Strategy for Young People’ as we move towards 2012. Participation in PE and Sport will contribute towards improving children and young people’s health and well-being.
Our target
To create a new ‘5 hour offer’ for all 5-16 year olds. To continue to increase the number of 5-16 year olds taking part in at least 2 hours high quality PE and Sport at school each week and create opportunities for them to participate in a further 3 hours each week of sporting activity, through school, voluntary and community providers; and Create new opportunities for all 16-19 year to participate in 3 hours each week of sporting activities through their colleges or in local clubs.
