Early results of the annual PESSCL survey
The results show over 3,000 more young people are now participating in 2 hours of PE and school sport than were taking part at this time last year in the New Forest district.
Since the Partnership's conception in September 2005, the team have been making strides to increase the baseline figure of 55% (of young people participating in 2 hours of PE and School Sport) to a national target of 85%.

Early indicators (79%) show that at the end of the summer term 2006 data entered by each school in the partnership shows an increase of 24%, well above the target agreed by the DFES of 70%.
The Partnership Development Manager, Peter Brailey praised both the work of the Partnership's staff, the Primary Link Teachers and importantly the Head Teachers who have sanctioned the increase curriculum provision and develop out of ours school sport.

"The commitment towards the Partnership and DFES aims has been tremendous." With one eye on the future he concluded, "We are very confident that the momentum gained within the first year will lead to an early achievement of the 2008 national target of 85%."
